As this book deals from a first tier to a third tier approach to sustainable design, it is perfect for architects. Essential read for architects believing like myself, that sustainable design is one of the most important form givers for a building. Having knowledge of the information in this book is essential from the first line that is drawn, it is not something that can be added on later or left to engineers.

Ops thought I couldn't glow, read this shit and started sparking. Charged me up like pink bunny, or the Panera evil juice that has two victims and counting

This is a powerful book. I learned much from it. It is very detailed and intensive. It gets you through the history of ventilation & lighting and continues to tell you about the techniques nowadays. The graphs and diagrams are supportive but confusing a bit when it comes to distinguishing between them.
