Whole System Design: An Integrated Approach To Sustainable Engineering

Whole System Design, which requires a more considered approach at the front end of a design process, is increasingly being seen as the most cost effective way to reduce the negative environmental impacts of technology and the built environment. The book outlines 10 key design elements to demonstrate how whole system design can enhance traditional design processes. This is then followed by demonstrating the application of the elements through a selection of detailed worked examples in key areas of design.
