Design for Adaptability and Deconstruction (DfA/D) provides for resilience and resource effectiveness in an ever-greater resource-constrained world. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book is the authoritative guide to sustainable design of buildings that consider reuse and eventual disassembly rather than demolition. It illustrates strategies and techniques from historical precedents and current thinking; offers a framework for DfA/D application to different building types; includes examples via specific building products and systems; and discusses DfA/D in North American and international green building standards as well as environmental policies.
