Environmental Design Sourcebook

Innovative Ideas for a Sustainable Built Environment

By: William McLean,Pete Silver

How do we design in a climate emergency? A new social and ecological prerogative demands appropriate material choices, a re-invention of construction and evolving building programmes that look at lifecycle, embodied energy and energy use. Highly illustrated with practical information and simple explanations for design ideas, this book is the perfect introduction to sustainable design for architecture students. It presents key concepts in relation to the embodied energy of construction, material properties and environmental performance of buildings in an accessible way. In explaining the principles and technologies by which we heat, cool, moderate and mitigate, it demystifies environmental design as a technical exercise and enables students to create sustainable buildings with impact.

Applied Choice Analysis

A Primer

By: David A. Hensher,John M. Rose,William H. Greene

Almost without exception, everything human beings undertake involves a choice. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the development and application of quantitative statistical methods to study choices made by individuals with the purpose of gaining a better understanding both of how choices are made and of forecasting future choice responses. In this primer the authors provide an unintimidating introduction to the main techniques of choice analysis and include detail on themes such as data collection and preparation, model estimation and interpretation and the design of choice experiments. A companion website to the book provides practice data sets and software to estimate the main discrete choice models such as multinomial logit, nested logit and mixed logit. This primer will be an invaluable resource to students as well as of immense value to consultants and professionals, researchers and anyone else interested in choice analysis and modelling.

Getting off the Fence Post

Choosing How to Face Difficult Times

By: William P. Nelson

God has acted and Jesus has acted ... but what are we doing? Jesus wants us to act. That is one of the insights in this book of devotions that William P. “Buddy” Nelson wrote during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to stay in touch with his faith and to reimagine the future of the church. While writing, he discovered that when living through a pandemic—or a crisis of any kind—God is there to provide a refreshed understanding of His revelation. In fact, God’s message is exactly what we all need to hear in times of personal or professional crisis. While these devotions highlight numerous topics and challenges, the overarching theme focuses on how everyday events can help us understand God’s Word. In doing so, we can learn how to face and overcome challenges with faith rather than fear. Remember when the world is at its darkest place, God challenges his children to shine the brightest!
