Most of the emissions from industry arise from producing just five key materials and, as they're already made very efficiently, if we want to reduce their impact, we have to use less of them.This book is written to shown how we can use a lot less material without a lot of pain.

EPDs and PCRs: Developing environmental footprint standards
Categories :
Have you tried to understand the carbon footprint of a material
or product and been frustrated not knowing which data to use? Tried to
compare the environmental performance of similar products and been
unable to find an apples-to-apples comparison? These challenges and others are driving the development of Environmental
Product Declaration (EPD) standards that integrate a comprehensive
assessment of full lifecycle environmental impacts to enable reporting
of the "environmental footprint" of a material or product. Follow the link for more information.

Book: Sustainability Guidelines for the Structural Engineer
Categories :
The SEI Sustainability Committee has published guidelines to educate and advise structural engineers as they meet the challenge to design and construct a more sustainable built environment. The guidelines, a 300-page book, have been released through the ASCE press. The guidelines provide valuable information on a variety of topics of interest to the structural engineering community. While the intended audience is structural engineers, all design professionals will benefit from the content.
The guidelines are organized into five sections: Sustainable Design and Construction, Sustainable Strategies, Building Materials, Infrastructure, and Case Studies. Although many of the subjects presented are related, each section — and the related subsections — have been written to stand alone.
The committee is pleased to announce that the guidelines are now available for purchase through ASCE press. Find out how your firm can improve upon sustainability through its designs!
