<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Much like the sustainable design process, this textbook, sustainable design basics, and the new methodology it presents is the result of collaborative efforts. We are grateful for the knowledge, insight, talent, and time of all of those who contributed to this process. Special thanks and acknowledgment are due to the following: Our students in the MS Sustainable Design program at Thomas Jefferson University whose honest and detailed feedback on the SDB methodology, even when less than favorable helped us evaluate, revise, and refine the methodology presented in this text. Particular thanks to the efforts of Abhiri Khisty, Jaspreet (JP) Bullar, and Shane Clark for their consistent work and positive spirit, Arpita Ganti for her enthusiasm and early sketchup work and Keaghan Caldwell for his amazing design, SketchUp and Sefaira work. An extra thank you to MS in Sustainable Design staff members Savannah Nierintz, and especially Laura Parisi who was an absolute rock star during her time at the University and in her work to support this book!"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An accessible, climate-diverse guide that transforms readers from sustainable design novices to whole-solution problem solvers.</b></p> <p><i>Sustainable Design Basics</i> is a student-friendly introduction to a holistic and integral view of sustainable design.
