Sustainable Design Basics is a student-friendly introduction to a holistic and integral view of sustainable design. Comprehensive in scope, this textbook presents basic technical information, sustainability strategies, and a practical, step-by-step approach for sustainable building projects. Clear and relatable chapters illustrate how to identify the factors that reduce energy use, solve specific sustainable design problems, develop holistic design solutions, and address the social and cultural aspects of sustainable design. Requiring no prior knowledge of the subject, the text's easy-to-follow methodology leads readers through the fundamental sustainable design principles for the built environment.    Sustainably-constructed and maintained buildings protect the health and improve the productivity of their occupants, as well as help to restore the global ecosystem. The authors, leading practitioners and educators in sustainable design, have created a resource that provides a solid introduction to broad level sustainability thinking that students can take forward into their professional practice. Topics include space planning for sustainable design, integrative and collaborative design, standards and rating systems, real-world strategies to conserve energy and resources through leveraging renewable natural resources and innovative construction techniques and their impact on our environment.    Usable and useful both in and beyond the classroom, this book: Covers building location strategies, building envelopes and structures, integration of passive and active systems, green materials, and project presentationExamines cultural factors, social equity, ecological systems, and aestheticsProvides diverse student exercises that vary by climate, geography, setting, perspective, and typologyFeatures a companion website containing extensive instructor resources Sustainable Design Basics is an important resource aimed at undergraduate architecture and interior design students, or first-year graduate students, as well as design professionals wishing to integrate sustainable design knowledge and techniques into their practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Why, How, Who, and What 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy Use This Book 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Use This Book 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho Should Use This Book 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat are the Parameters of This Book 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganization 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompanion Website 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 Mindset 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Holocene and the Age of Agriculture 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Industrial Revolution and the Environment 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvironmentalism and the Age of Information 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRealizations of the Historic Sustainability Events Timeline 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThinking and Seeing from Multiple Perspectives 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntegral Sustainable Design 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Four Perspectives of Integral Sustainable Design 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearning from the Past: General Rules 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpace and Scale 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Integrative Design Process 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Step 1: Context 21\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Sustainable Design Basics Methodology: An Overview 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1: Context 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1A: Project Information 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1B: Guiding Principles 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1C: Macro Context and Micro Context 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1D: Site Inventory and Analysis 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4 Step 2 Pre-Planning 55\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch and Organization 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 2A: Case Study 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 2B: Project Goals 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 2C: Criteria Matrix 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 2D: Relationship Diagrams 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 Step 3: Design 77\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhole Building Thinking, Systems Thinking 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3A Preliminary Design 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6 Step 3B: Passive Design 117\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is Passive Design?
