Construction Ecology: Nature as the Basic for Green Buildings
Designers of the built environment have much to learn from nature and Industrial ecology as they focus increasingly on green or sustainable construction. Natural systems are the ideal model not only for human systems but also for the built environment in which we live and function. The principles of design, energy, the flow of materials, and closed loop behaviour can all be understood in this context. Industrial ecology provides a sound means of systematising the various ideas which come under the banner of sustainable construction and provides a model for the design, operation and ultimate disposal of buildings. This volume presents the outcome of a collaboration among ecologists, industrial ecologists, architects, and materials manufacturers to define construction ecology, which can be viewed as a subset of industrial ecology focusing on the built environment.
