Charles Kibert是对可持续性感兴趣的研究人员和实践者的基本书籍。这本书是一个丰富的和更新的指南，在不断变化的可持续建筑世界中定位自己。这本书的目的是指导建筑和设计专业人士通过发展高性能的绿色建筑在今天的市场过程。为了做到这一点，这本书不断展示了绿色建筑原则背后的原因和潜力。这本书的新版本在很大程度上修改了第二版，这是150页小。这本书可能看起来只包括最近与可持续建筑有关的研究的最新描述;然而，它远不止这些。能源与环境设计领导力（LEED）评级系统（新版中的3.0版）仍然是本书的基础。然而，读者会发现一个不同的和更复杂的方法来LEED系统。可持续建筑运动成为一个活生生的历史，其主角实现，由于他们的照片（如比尔里德或雷蒙德科尔）的存在。几个案例研究和绿色建筑项目的图片有助于说明全球许多国家可持续建筑的挑战。与第二版相比，对主题的叙述方法有了很大的改进。在一个明确的和可访问的写作风格，基伯特解决了不同的问题，可持续建设，并打开读者批判性地思考前沿的绿色建筑。这个新版本收录的数字是以前的两倍多。关于能源消耗和建筑部门的许多数据显示了可持续建筑的紧迫性和潜力，而真实的建筑中的绿色技术的图片有助于说明全球范围内的当前应用。案例研究包括在每一章，并为读者提供机会，发现（通过几页为每个案例）成功的历史，特别是在美国和德国。本书的另一个重要优点是在每一章的末尾都有更新的参考文献列表（通常有丰富的研究报告和商业文档）。这些将基伯特的书与该领域不断增长的文献联系起来。这本书的新版本的特点是强烈关注建筑领域材料使用的影响。热力学和生态学原理支持再生方法的描述，以建筑设计。与此同时，联合国和IPCC的统计报告强调了错误使用材料的主要环境问题。
Charles Kibert represents a fundamental book for researchers and practitioners interested in sustainability. The book is a rich and updated guide to orient oneself in the ever-changing world of sustainable construction. The book aims to guide construction and design professionals through the process of developing high-performance green buildings in today’s marketplace. In order to do this, the book continually shows the reasons and potentialities behind green building principles.This new edition of the book largely revises the second edition which was 150 pages smaller. The book may appear to include only an updated description of recent studies related to sustainable construction; however, it is much more. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system (version 3.0 in the new edition) still represents the base of the book. However, the reader will discover a different and more intricate approach to the LEED system. The sustainable construction movement becomes a living history whose protagonists materialize, thanks to the presence of their photos (such as those of Bill Reed or Raymond Cole). Several case studies and pictures of green building projects help illustrate the challenge of sustainable construction in many countries worldwide. The narrative approach to the themes represents a great improvement when compared with the second edition of the book. In a clear and accessible writing style, Kibert addresses the different issues of sustainable construction and opens the reader to thinking critically about the cutting edge of a green building. More than double the number of figures are included in this new edition. Many data about energy consumption and the building sector show the urgency and potentiality of sustainable construction, whereas pictures of green technologies in real buildings help illustrate current applications worldwide. Case studies are included in each chapter and offer the reader the opportunity to discover (through a few pages for each case) successful histories, especially in the USA and Germany. Another important advantage of this book is the updated list of references (often rich in research reports and commercial documents) at the end of every chapter. These connect Kibert’s book with the growing literature in the field. This new edition of the book is characterized by a strong attention to the implications of material uses in the building sector. Thermodynamic and ecology principles support the description of the regenerative approach to building design. Meanwhile statistics of the UN and IPCC are reported to stress major environmental issues of using materials wrongly.
