Environmental disasters and severe weather events caused by climate change, resulting from human actions, have significantly impacted our homes. However, the way in which America constructs its homes contributes to the problem. This comprehensive and meticulously researched history of sustainable design standards in building codes delves into how public policy, standard-setting trade associations, and financial incentives shape the environmental impact of home construction.
The Greening of Americas Building Codes explores the regulations and economic incentives designed to regulate the environmental impact of contemporary construction practices. It analyzes the historical development of residential building codes, shedding light on how the socioeconomic and political forces that shaped early building code creation continue to define the characteristics of current building codes. By extension, this analysis determines how we regulate environmental impact and define sustainability today.
In an increasingly relevant context, The Greening of Americas Building Codes serves as a valuable resource for architects, architecture students, builders, real estate developers, and homeowners seeking to understand the interplay between public policy and their daily decisions. It provides insights into how architects, builders, and policymakers can work together to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly homes.
By examining the past and present of building codes, The Greening of Americas Building Codes offers a roadmap for a more sustainable future. It encourages architects, builders, and policymakers to embrace sustainable design principles and practices, promoting the development of resilient and environmentally responsible communities.
