Materials for Sustainable Sites:
A Complete Guide to the Evaluation, Selection, and Use of Sustainable Construction Materials
by Meg Calkins
In this detailed resource for designers and specifiers, Calkins explores the environmental impact of almost all building materials, from concrete and steel to wood and other biobased materials. In each chapter, she includes charts of essential information on each material; for example, in the concrete chapter, she includes not only the constituent parts of portland cement, but also the energy requirements of the manufacturing process and the environmental and architectural effects of various additives. Also included are the relevant standards for each material type. Calkins also includes a chapter on using salvaged materials.
