New Book From BGI: Green Building Products

Green Building Products is a residential edition of the widely acclaimed

GreenSpec

^® Directory—with a few important distinctions:

•

Green Building Products includes products applicable to homebuilding and remodeling: about 1,450 listings.

•Listings are organized by product category (e.g., insulation, windows, plumbing), rather than the CSI MasterFormat

^® structure used in the comprehensive GreenSpec Directory.

•Instead of “Guideline Specifications” (specialized information in

GreenSpec for architects and specifiers),

Green Building Products includes a detailed introduction to each of the 24 chapters covering environmental considerations relevant to the products in that category.

•

Green Building Products includes illustrations for about a quarter of the product entries.

•The book is priced significantly less than the

GreenSpec Directory ($39.95 rather than $89), allowing it to reach new markets.

Acclaimed architect and author Sarah Susanka (her

Not So Big House series of books is published by Taunton Press) wrote the foreword to

Green Building Products. BuildingGreen’s Alex Wilson and Mark Piepkorn edited the book, which will be shipping by mid-December. Order now for just-in-time holiday delivery! Call 800-861-0954 or order online at www.BuildingGreen.com/ecommerce.
