Preface

The significant additions and changes for the fifth edition of Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery include significant revisions to all chapters that were necessitated due to the rapid evolution of sustainable construction. The COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing during the creation of the fifth edition, and relevant information about its relationship to green building and sustainability has been provided as was known at the time.. Updated information on other major assessment systems, such as Green Star, the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE), the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), and the Deutsche Gesellschaft fr Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), has been provided.

.

A new , resilience could be said to represent the failure of sustainability, that sustainability by itself was not compelling enough to force a radical rethinking of anthropomorphic energy systems. The undesirable outcomes of this situation are continually increasing climate-change gases and ever more dangerous threats to global and local ecosystems.

The section in on green skyscrapers was updated to reflect the continuing rapid growth in the numbers and quality of green skyscrapers around the world. Ken Yeang, the renowned Malaysian architect, first elaborated this concept in his 1996 book, The Green Skyscraper: The Basis for Designing Sustainable Intensive Buildings, and in his two other volumes on the subject: Eco-Skyscrapers (2007) and Eco-Skyscrapers, Volume 2 (2011).

Although extremely busy with their day jobs designing significant green building projects around the world, several architecture firms gave generously of their time and resources to assist me. Katy Harris, senior partner at Foster + Partners, provided me access to materials such as reports, press releases, and graphics about the Bloomberg European Headquarters in London, the major case study in case study, Rick Sharp of Fairhursts Design Group was kind enough to provide me with extremely helpful materials about the design of the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratories, located at the University of Nottingham in the UK. He arranged for a review of this case study by the client and project team to ensure its accuracy and for several Zoom calls with some of the key engineers who helped design this significant and noteworthy project. I am grateful for their openness, assistance, and generosity.

One of the significant case studies in this edition is in on materials, and it covers the topic of closed loop or cradle-to-cradle materials strategies. The case study was developed with the assistance of Shaw Industries, who were very generous during a yearlong process that began with a meeting with their representatives at the 2019 USGBC annual Green Build conference and exhibition. The case study describes the approach that Shaw Industry used to develop the EcoWorx carpet tile product line and how it squarely addresses the problem of keeping materials in productive use as long as possible. I am grateful to Kellie Ballew, vice president for Global Sustainability for Shaw Industries, and Kate Arora, communications manager for ShawContract, and Dana Hartline.

This fifth edition has significantly more graphics than the fourth edition of Sustainable Construction, and a large number of organizations and companies were kind enough to permit the publication of their content in this edition. Thanks to all the contributors of these invaluable materials.
