This second edition―organized to incorporate the LEED Green Building Rating System―offers useful discussions about best practice approaches to commercial interior design as they relate to water use, energy use, material selection, and indoor air quality. Fifteen brand new case studies have been added to demonstrate real-life examples of great green design approaches for an array of commercial projects.
