SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
DISCOVER THE LATEST EDITION OF THE LEADING TEXTBOOK ON SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION AND GREEN BUILDING
In the newly revised Fifth Edition of Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, the late Dr. Charles J. Kibert delivers a rigorous overview of the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. In the leading textbook on sustainable building, the author provides thoroughly updated information on everything from materials selection to building systems.
Updated to reflect the latest building codes and standards, including LEED v4.1, the book offers readers coverage of international green building codes and standards, biomimicry, ecological design, focused assessment systems like SITES, EDGE, WELL, and Fitwell, and sustainable construction resilience. Readers will learn to think critically about all aspects of green building and benefit from the inclusion of:
- A thorough introduction to sustainable construction, including the landscape for green buildings, sustainable development, sustainable design, and the rationale for high-performance green buildings
- An exploration of the foundations of green buildings, including biomimicry and ecological design, basic concepts and vocabulary, and the green building movement
- Practical discussions of ecological design, including a historical perspective, contemporary ecological design
- In-depth examinations of high-performance green building assessment, including focused assessment systems and international building assessment systems
Perfect for upper level undergraduate and graduate level students in architecture, architectural technology, civil engineering, and construction management, Sustainable Construction is also an indispensable resource for anyone studying for the LEED Green Associate exam, as well as industry professionals and building owners.

Preface
The significant additions and changes for the fifth edition of Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery include significant revisions to all chapters that were necessitated due to the rapid evolution of sustainable construction. The COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing during the creation of the fifth edition, and relevant information about its relationship to green building and sustainability has been provided as was known at the time. Chapters 4 and 5 on LEED and Green Globes respectively were heavily revised because these major assessment systems have changed significantly over the past few years. LEED version 4.1 is now the main building assessment product of the US Green Building Council for projects, and this recent version is covered in detail. A detailed review of the new standard, ANSI/GBI 01–2019 Green Globes Assessment Protocol for Green Buildings, that underpins the Green Globes assessment system is included in Chapter 5. Updated information on other major assessment systems, such as Green Star, the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE), the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), has been provided.
Chapter 12 on carbon accounting was also significantly revised to include more insights into the importance of carbon neutral buildings. Case studies are provided that describe how project teams are developing strategies to offset a project's embodied and operational carbon. The emerging role of mass timber as both a structural material and for use as an offset for embodied carbon are covered both in Chapter 11 on materials and in Chapter 12.
A new Chapter 16 on resilience addresses the issue of climate change–induced disasters, which are growing in frequency and scale. Climate change resilience is an important emerging issue that is now being incorporated into the latest versions of building assessment systems even though there is some debate about the importance of its inclusion. As pointed out in Chapter 16, resilience could be said to represent the failure of sustainability, that sustainability by itself was not compelling enough to force a radical rethinking of anthropomorphic energy systems. The undesirable outcomes of this situation are continually increasing climate-change gases and ever more dangerous threats to global and local ecosystems.
The section in Chapter 17 on green skyscrapers was updated to reflect the continuing rapid growth in the numbers and quality of green skyscrapers around the world. Ken Yeang, the renowned Malaysian architect, first elaborated this concept in his 1996 book, The Green Skyscraper: The Basis for Designing Sustainable Intensive Buildings, and in his two other volumes on the subject: Eco-Skyscrapers (2007) and Eco-Skyscrapers, Volume 2 (2011).
Although extremely busy with their day jobs designing significant green building projects around the world, several architecture firms gave generously of their time and resources to assist me. Katy Harris, senior partner at Foster + Partners, provided me access to materials such as reports, press releases, and graphics about the Bloomberg European Headquarters in London, the major case study in Chapter 1. For the major Chapter 12 case study, Rick Sharp of Fairhursts Design Group was kind enough to provide me with extremely helpful materials about the design of the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratories, located at the University of Nottingham in the UK. He arranged for a review of this case study by the client and project team to ensure its accuracy and for several Zoom calls with some of the key engineers who helped design this significant and noteworthy project. I am grateful for their openness, assistance, and generosity.
One of the significant case studies in this edition is in Chapter 11 on materials, and it covers the topic of closed loop or cradle-to-cradle materials strategies. The case study was developed with the assistance of Shaw Industries, who were very generous during a yearlong process that began with a meeting with their representatives at the 2019 USGBC annual Green Build conference and exhibition. The case study describes the approach that Shaw Industry used to develop the EcoWorx® carpet tile product line and how it squarely addresses the problem of keeping materials in productive use as long as possible. I am grateful to Kellie Ballew, vice president for Global Sustainability for Shaw Industries, and Kate Arora, communications manager for ShawContract®, and Dana Hartline.
This fifth edition has significantly more graphics than the fourth edition of Sustainable Construction, and a large number of organizations and companies were kind enough to permit the publication of their content in this edition. Thanks to all the contributors of these invaluable materials.
Thanks to Amy Odum at John Wiley & Sons for guiding me through the initial stages of the publication process. This edition would not have been possible without the enormous contributions of my PhD students, among them Maryam Kouhirostami, Mahya Sam, Samira Roostaie, Jiaxuan Li, and Ashish Asutosh. They were extremely dedicated to helping produce a comprehensive, quality outcome. During the time of producing the fifth edition, Samira was writing her dissertation on the topic of resilience and her work proved very helpful and was used in the section discussing the relationship between green building assessment and a climate-resilient built environment. I owe an enormous debt to all of them for their extremely hard work and dedication.
