Beskrivning

Inhis seminal new book, Bill Dunster demonstrates that zero-carbon, zero-wastedesign doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag, and is achievable today.This book presents a range of tools that form key ingredients in a low carbonsociety. Focusing on technologies that are already in use, ZEDlifeexplores both small-scale ideas (such as shelters and lighting) and large-scalesolutions in buildings and across cities. An essential resource for bothstudents and practitioners, ZEDlife offers an interdisciplinary approachto sustainability, making connections to a web of technologies throughfull-colour case studies of new build and retrofit projects from across theglobe. Theargument for low-cost, zero-energy, zero-waste architecture has never beentimelier. This book offers a forceful challenge to the status quo and providesworkable, sustainable solutions for zero-carbon, zero-waste design.
