Description
Author is a structural engineer who has designed sustainable building world-wide
He founded the Ecological Building Network
He has written three other books on low-carbon building
The embodied carbon of building materials accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions
The author believes the future of building will be an amalgam of the best of traditional and modern construction technologies
This book explains how it is possible to build using materials which create a carbon sink, absorbing more carbon than they emit through construction materials and the building process
The resulting buildings cost less to build and are more comfortable to live in
Covers wood, alternatives to concrete, recycled plastic waste, and materials inspired by biomimicry
