This forward-looking and insightful guide explores how thesustainable renovation of existing buildings presents greatopportunities for initiating extensive changes in the performanceof the built environment. Great examples of existing buildingupgrades are examined, illustrating how to do sustainablerenovations, along with current design approaches for radicallyimproving the functionality of existing prewar, postwar, and latemodern buildings.

Withincremental modernization and operations strategies available forimmediate implementation, this book demonstrates the different waysof thinking necessary when considering and attempting theintegration of sustainable concepts into existingbuildings--and enables readers to rethink the world that'sbuilt around them.
