Offices: Sustainable Function and Form

By Peter Fisher

Although in historical terms office buildings are a comparatively new building type, they today form a major part of many people's lives, have an increasing impact on the form of our cities and are a key component of a more sustainable built environment. For many people, after their home, it is the building in which they will spend the most time, while for many organizations, along with business travel, their office building is often their largest direct environmental impact. This book draws together the disparate strands that influence sustainability in the design of contemporary office buildings into a single volume. It is structured into five sections that cover background, requirements, design, implementation, and closes with a selection of case studies (including post-occupancy analysis). The result is a practical guide that will be indispensable for architects, building engineers and students of these subjects. Part of the Sustainable Function and Form in Architecture series.
