One of the ways this can be done is by reducing the energy and environmental impact of the materials and resources used to construct buildings by choosing alternative products and systems. In particular, we need to recognise the potential for using natural and renewable construction materials as a way to reduce both carbon emissions but also build in a more benign and healthy way. This book is an account of some attempts to introduce this into mainstream house construction and the problems and obstacles that need to be overcome to gain wider acceptance of genuinely environmental construction methods Building materials Environmental aspects; Green products; Recycled products; Sản phẩm tái chế; Sản phẩm xanh; Vật liệu xây dựng Khía cạnh môi trường http://lrc.tdmu.edu.vn/opac/search/detail.asp?aID=2&ID=25090 Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Thủ Dầu Một
