Description
This text describes the environmental impacts from global factors such as ozone depletion to the quality of the environment within property. Each chapter is written by a specialist, and the topics covered range from site contamination to the environmental consequences of selecting particular building materials; from environmental law to the need for energy efficiency. The book is structured to allow anyone with an interest in property - student, practitioner or user - to consider such environmental impacts and take appropriate action, whether this is an audit of an existing building, setting the criteria for a development scheme or establishing an environmental policy for a property portfolio. A balance is maintained between the "demands" of environmental health issues and the commercial realities of the property world.
