Here is a comprehensive introduction

to acoustical design in architecture and
interiors, in an easy-to-understand format.
Architectural Acoustics Illustrated translates
the quantitative and qualitative content of
acoustics into the graphic language of architecture. Text, ample illustrations, and animations outline the physics of sound, the design of spaces
for listening, and best-practices for limiting and mitigating noise in buildings. Using a highly visual format (featuring over 350 illustrations and
numerous summary checklists), it explains the principles of architectural
acoustics and its practical application in building projects and reflects the
latest materials and design techniques. Directed at architects and architecture students, engineers, musicians, acousticians, building professionals,
and interested laypeople, the book offers a first-look at the interaction
of sound and space, and a comprehensive how-to practical guide for
designing with acoustics in mind.
Sustainable design gets the Ching treatment in Green Building Illustrated. Ching
BUiLDing
brings his signature style to the theory
iLLUsTraTED
and practices of green building, from exterior to interior, providing a framework
and detailed strategies for designing
substantively green buildings. The book
begins by explaining why we need to
build green, the theory behind it, current green ratings systems, and new
directions in the industry. It follows with comprehensive discussion of
community and site selection; passive design; moving towards net zero
through outer envelope and inner envelope design; water conservation;
ventilation and indoor air quality; active heating and cooling; minimumimpact materials; operations, maintenance, and quality control; affordability and life-cycle analysis; and the importance of nature and beauty in
green design.

Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure presents

methods for evaluating projects and programs
aimed at improving the performance and sustainability of infrastructure
projects. It introduces system performance, concepts of sustainability,
methods of engineering economics, and provides numerous case studies,
examples, and exercises based upon real-world problems. The text is
designed to aid in understanding why major infrastructure projects are
undertaken, how they are structured and evaluated, and how they are
financed.
CARL D. MARTLAND
Because sustainability ultimately

rests on ethics, this groundbreaking
book is a crucial link in extending sustainability from a mere intellectual
exercise to a broader spectrum. Working Toward Sustainability develops a
comprehensive ethical foundation for sustainability by bringing together
nine ethical principles in a cohesive manner to provide the badly needed
ethical arguments that support this important concept. Each chapter is
supported by case studies, exercises, and other pedagogy.

Rating systems verifying and quantifying

sustainable design were once an unrecoverable, unnecessary cost. Now, rating systems are a marketing tool to lower
operating costs. Guide to Green Building Rating Systems is the only guide to
compare and contrast complex rating systems of green buildings. This book
is essential for owners, builders, construction managers, and design teams in
selecting the appropriate rating system for their project.
Prepared under the supervision of a specially assembled AGC task force

in conjunction with the author, Tom Glavinich, this is the first guide to
green building written specifically for contractors and builders. Taking a
broad view of the various competing green standards, Contractors Guide
to Green Building Construction avoids endorsing any single standard in
favor of presenting the business fundamentals common to them all.

Construction is a complex business. Each

project has its own unique physical and commercial considerations. Since theres no such
thing as a standard or typical construction
project, construction contracts should also never be considered standard.
The contractor must carefully manage both in order to have a successful
outcome and protect the companys interests and assets. This book will
help you manage all vital elements of the contract, from the scope of work
and schedule to terms of payment and cash flow to insurance, bonding,
indemnity, and warranties, among many other topics.

TEMPORARY
STRUCTURE DESIGN
Chris Souder
Temporary construction structures such as scaffolding, formwork, shoring, ramps, platforms, and earth retaining structures are
less regulated and monitored than most other parts of the construction process, and there are few standards for levels of quality
or design techniques. Geared towards a senior level, undergraduate course or a specialty graduate course for students familiar
with statics and strengths of materials, this book is the first design-oriented guide to the design of temporary construction
structures. It includes coverage of the various safety considerations inherent in temporary structure design and construction,
provides information on estimating cost and schedules for these specialized structures, and covers formwark and falsework as
well as personnel protection, production support, environmental protection and foundational structures.

First published in 1988 by RS Means,

the new edition of this book has been
substantially revised for students
enrolled in construction management
and civil engineering programs. While
retaining its emphasis on developing
practical, professional-level scheduling skills, the new edition is a relatable,
real-world case study that can be used over the course of a semester. The
book also includes classroom elements like exercises, quizzes, skill-building exercises, and an instructors manual that includes two additional new
cases.
The key to successful project management lies in the fusing of cost to schedule whereby the management of one
helps the management of the other. A
projects cost and duration must have
a direct relationship with baselines for
tracking the project and keeping both cost and schedule on target. This
book explores the reasons behind the methodologies for proper planning,
monitoring, and controlling cost and schedule, filling a void in the current literature on project control in contemporary construction.
