This book identifies, defines and explains in detail property-related environmental issues. It is written in an easy-to-follow style and presented in a lively format.

The book is supported by current case studies, and there is learning material - with model answers - for students and lecturers to use for group work.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Environmental awareness is no longer optional. The legal, fiscal and planning policy frameworks, as well as the demands of increasingly informed building occupiers and owners, make it essential for property professionals to understand the issues affecting sustainability.


In this clear and lively primer on sustainable real estate, property-related environmental issues are identified, defined and explained in an easy-to-follow style, making it ideal for both students and practitioners. A sustainable approach to development is explored with reference to relevant background information, practical issues and the problems posed via four key topics:



  • Location of property: greenfield and brownfield development

  • Contamination: dealing with polluted land

  • Green property: the design of lower environmental impact building

  • Procurement: sustainability in the UK construction industry


The book has been carefully structured to provide a single introductory text examining the relationship between environmental issues and the design and development of property, using:



  • Suggested learning outcomes

  • Headline questions

  • Background

  • Practical problems and solutions

  • Possible future directions

  • Learning materials

  • References and sources
