First presented at the international conference called Portugal SB07; Sustainable Construction, Materials and Practices--Challenge of the Industry for the New Millennium, held in Minho, Portugal in 2007, the papers of this two-volume proceedings present the authors' research and projects in a wide array of issues related to sustainable construction, including use of industrial waste, use of non- conventional materials, design for climate change, design for deconstruction, and teaching. Many case studies are included. The contributors are engineers and architects who teach and practice at institutions worldwide, making this a valuable resource for its international perspective, as well as for the wealth of material presented. The papers are illustrated with tables, plans, and b&w photos. There is an author index, but no subject index.
