Publisher:	simultaneously in Canada
Description:	The book begins with an overview of the most widely used rating systems and compares key features such as cost, ease of use, and building performance. The remainder of the guide is divided into two sections, one on single- and multifamily residential construction (Chapters 3–7) and one on nonresidential construction (Chapters 8–12). Each rating system is examined in detail, including its evolution, objectives, criteria, levels of certification, benefits, and shortcomings. For each rating system, a series of case studies representing diverse project types, sizes, certification levels, and climate regions illustrates the application of the rating system under discussion. Case studies include “lessons learned” from designers, builders, and owners. Less well-known national, local, regional, and international rating systems are also addressed.
