    Review - Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide

    DateThursday, April 26, 2012 at 7:57PM

    I have a copy of the Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide.

    The book is new and has two 5-star reviews so far an amazon.com.

    Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide [Paperback]

    To me the ultimate test was what the author says about LEED.  

    Is he being critical of LEED?  Yes.

    But it has been criticized for devolving into more of a game in which racking up the most points sometimes takes precedence over producing the greenest building.

    The author does a good job of listing some other issues with LEED and makes a final point.

    Another criticism of LEED is that the certification process can be very expensive and time consuming.

    The author looks at many of the issues with a critics eye on what to do and why.

    If you are looking for a guide to greener/sustainable design, this book is worth checking out.
