Book release: Green Building Illustrated, Second Edition

Join us for a sneak peek of the second edition of Ian Shapiro’s Green Building IllustratedThe series provides architects, designers and builders in the green design professional community a clear and useful framework for designing and retrofitting low-carbon, healthy and smart buildings. During the event, we’ll hear about new approaches to sustainable sites, net-zero energy, and how to select healthy building materials.

Ian M. Shapiro and Francis D.K. Ching, author and illustrator of the seminal Building Construction Illustrated, first teamed up in 2014 to present a fully illustrated guide to the theory and practice of sustainable design. Ian M. Shapiro’s green building expertise started with hands-on energy efficiency work, grew into a broad analytical understanding of the field and is now focused on the immediate practical challenge of electrifying everything. Ching is the author of several bestselling books, his work focusing on clarifying and communicating architectural principles, elements and relationships.
