The book begins with a valuable Building Code Primer that explains basic permitting and regulatory processes. By gaining this fundamental knowledge, students will be prepared to successfully incorporate green principles into their future construction projects and avoid costly mistakes that can occur when key processes are not established beforehand. Coverage then progresses to reviewing the IBC section by section, identifying areas where provisions of the code will affect a green construction project and where in a project there are green options, as well. With real-life examples of green construction techniques throughout the book, this is the perfect "code consultant" that your students will reference both in the classroom and on the job.
