520			_aBuildings are currently a major part of the carbon emissions problem. Sustainability at the Cutting Edge indicates how they may become part of the solution. This fully updated new edition deals not only with current best practice and state-of-the-art case studies, but also with the very latest emerging technologies which will transform the relationship between buildings and energy. Professor Peter Smith describes how buildings can be made to significantly reduce their reliance on fossil-based energy by the use of solar and geothermal resources." "Packed with useful diagrams, charts and full colour photographs, this immensely practical book is a great reference for professionals in the design and construction industry.
