This guide to sustainable design of low-rise domestic buildings presents BRE’s expertise on the performance of building materials and fabric in a single compact volume.
It gives building professionals the starting points for selection and specification of structural elements, materials and finishes.
All aspects of building design are covered: site investigation and preparation, foundations, walls, windows and doors, roofs, floors and ceilings, basements, building services plus much more.
Fully in line with UK regulations and standards, the guide is based on key sustainable design requirements, in particular, how to achieve a long life, limit maintenance requirements, reduce defects and design for the future.
Designing quality buildings brings together the expertise of BRE’s most experienced architects, engineers, surveyors and scientists and is based on a thorough understanding of the physical, chemical and environmental characteristics of building materials and fabric.
