The story
The book
A visual, cross-disciplinary text on sustainability in construction: from the core concept, through every project phase from planning to end of life, to supply chains, waste, rating schemes, regenerative design, technology and corporate sustainability reporting.
Global and local
It sets New Zealand's construction sector against the global context, closing with stakeholder perspectives and the 'wicked' problem of sustainable construction in Aotearoa, for engineers, students, researchers, policymakers and industry.
