Green Building

SBIC’s Green Buildilng Guildelines was the first national green home building resource written by builders for builders. While it is still primarily a builder’s guide, the information will be valuable to anyone who wants to learn more about the various aspects that make up green home design. For example, homeowners may find it a valuable resource when working with a builder.

Published at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Sustainable Landscape Construction took a new approach to what was then a nearly new subject: how to construct outdoor environments based on principles of sustainability. This enormously influential book helped to spur a movement that has taken root around the U.S. and throughout the world. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to include the most important developments in this landscape revolution, along with the latest scientific research in the field. It has been expanded to provide even more ideas for designing, building, and maintaining environmentally sensitive landscapes. It is essential reading for everyone with an interest in “green” landscape design.
