Book Synopsis Green Buildings and the Law by : Julie Adshead
Download or read book Green Buildings and the Law written by Julie Adshead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries such as the UK, the energy used in constructing, occupying and operating buildings represents approximately fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure to improve the environmental performance of buildings during both construction and occupancy, particularly to reduce carbon emissions from buildings, has become intense. Understandably, legislation and regulation are driving green development and compliance. And this is happening in a wide variety of ways. This review of the law in key jurisdictions for the research community, lawyers, the construction industry and government examines some of the mechanisms in place – from the more traditional building regulation controls to green leases and the law relating to buildings and their natural environment. Members of the CIB TG69 research group on ‘Green Buildings and the Law’ review aspects of the law relating to green development in a range of jurisdictions.
Book Synopsis Law of Green Buildings by : Peter S. Britell
Download or read book Law of Green Buildings written by Peter S. Britell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 2015 edition of a casebook for an advanced law school course on the emerging law of green buildings. Everyone wants new buildings to be green and old buildings to be "greened". What will this mean for legal agreemens? What will be other legal consequences? Students identify and analyze types of green issues affecting every type of real estate transaction and construction project. They consider, also, legal and policy issues of green legislation which mandates compliance with green rules or creates incentives for green development and sustainability. In short, the course provokes answers to the question, "what is the role of the lawyer in the green revolution?" In short, in this course the students address green issues as lawyers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent. This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner? Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture. - A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings - A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators - Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design

Book Synopsis Multifunctional Rural Land Management by : Floor Brouwer
Download or read book Multifunctional Rural Land Management written by Floor Brouwer and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing demand for rural land and its natural resources is creating competition and conflicts. Many interested parties, including farmers, nature conservationists, rural residents and tourists, compete for the same space. Especially in densely populated areas, agriculture, recreation, urban and suburban growth and infrastructure development exert a constant pressure on rural areas. Because land is a finite resource, spatial policies which are formulated and implemented to increase the area allocated to one use imply a decrease in land available for other uses. As a result, at many locations, multi-purpose land use is becoming increasingly important. This notion of multi-purpose land use is reflected in the term 'multifunctionality'.This volume provides insights into viable strategies of sustainable management practices allowing multiple functions sustained by agriculture and natural resources in rural areas. It shows how the rural economy and policies can balance and cope with these competing demands and includes numerous case studies from Europe, North America and developing countries.

Book Synopsis Legal Aspects of Building Green by : Stephen Del Percio
Download or read book Legal Aspects of Building Green written by Stephen Del Percio and published by Earthscan / James & James. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 2009, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) released a white paper that claimed green building legal risks are merely 'old wine in new bottles'. However, in identifying a variety of the typical claims that are asserted in connection with construction projects, USGBC's effort fell short of elevating the analysis of green building legal issues to the level necessary for policymakers and project teams to make informed decisions about legislative activity and project-specific risk management. The paper concluded by suggesting that 'conjecture, anecdote, and even rumor swirl around recent presentations, workshops and discussions circling the question of what legal claims may be based on the design, development, and construction of sustainable buildings'. This book will definitively address the potential for such legal claims in way which will allow stakeholders to fully appreciate and evaluate the legal issues that may - and indeed already have - ferment into 'new wine.'

Book Synopsis Green Governance by : Burns H. Weston
Download or read book Green Governance written by Burns H. Weston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of the world's scientists agree: we have reached a point in history where we are in grave danger of destroying Earth's life-sustaining capacity. But our attempts to protect natural ecosystems are increasingly ineffective because our very conception of the problem is limited; we treat 'the environment' as its own separate realm, taking for granted prevailing but outmoded conceptions of economics, national sovereignty and international law. Green Governance is a direct response to the mounting calls for a paradigm shift in the way humans relate to the natural environment. It opens the door to a new set of solutions by proposing a compelling new synthesis of environmental protection based on broader notions of economics and human rights and on commons-based governance. Going beyond speculative abstractions, the book proposes a new architecture of environmental law and public policy that is as practical as it is theoretically sound.
Book Synopsis The Green Building Bottom Line (GreenSource Books; Green Source) by : Martin Melaver
Download or read book The Green Building Bottom Line (GreenSource Books; Green Source) written by Martin Melaver and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the real costs and real benefits of building green? As any builder knows, cost estimation and reality are often two very different things. The Green Building Bottom Line makes the case for green building by providing the insights and data that demonstrate the true costs and benefits of building green. It's a “why to” and a “how to” that explores everything from the ground up. The Green Building Bottom Line puts an entire development team at the table to better understand both the issues encountered and what's behind the perceived price premium for building green. This candid and transparent account explores every aspect of green development on groundbreaking projects, from the nation's first all-retail LEED core and shell project to an innovative multitenanted LEED-Existing Buildings office project, to a mixed-use hotel-retail-condo project in a transitional urban market. The authors focus on such issues as values, culture, life-cycle costs, insurance, financing, coordinating a team, marketing, and negotiating leases. Includes: Detailed case studies of green-building projects, start to finish Information on financial, legal, and operational aspects of the job The real-world costs of green building-not unrealistic estimates A behind-the-scenes look at the LEED building process Unique insight from those who have actually done the work The Green Building Bottom Line covers: • Economical and ecological benefits • Auditing sustainability in existing buildings • Financial benefits of green tenancy • Loan analysis • Insurance underwriting • Expense reduction • Writing a green lease • Converting an existing building • Green retail • Brokering sustainability • Marketing • HR practices and processes
