The tone is conversational and not didactic or preachy. It doesn’t provide the reader with black and white solutions to every problem but sets out a range of possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition does the above and more so. It questions whether we can continue to use fossil fuels in buildings; mitigate the worst effects of Global Climate Change; and still provide well designed, well built, comfortable, healthy, and sustainable buildings. Along with some minor changes made for greater clarity, the new edition provides, for example, much more detail about heat pumps, an expanded treatment of stairways in multifamily buildings, and includes a new chapter devoted to case studies from net-zero buildings from around the world. In other words, the second edition continues the conversation among professionals who are passionate about sustainable buildings and a sustainable planet, who are thoughtful, well grounded in the basics of physics and building science, but who are open to finding new solutions to the problems we face in a changing environment.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Jim Gunshinan, Senior Editor, \u003ci\u003eBuilding Performance Journal\u003c\/i\u003e (previously, \u003ci\u003eHome Energy \u003c\/i\u003emagazine)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The authors of \u003ci\u003eGreen Building Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e frame existing and emerging challenges of green building with clarity and care, and provide a compelling science-based design approach that complements, rather than competes with, existing sustainable codes and standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis widely applicable and intuitive source encourages design students and professionals to consider sustainability as an evolving art, and to allow energy and material conservation principles to guide design problem-solving with rigor and creativity.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Nina Sharifi, Ph.D., Syracuse CoE Faculty Research Fellow, Assistant Professor, School of Architecture, Syracuse University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRANCIS D.K.
