The
Green Building Decision Kit is the ONLY
product you need to get started building
green! It takes you step-by-step through
each part of the construction process.
It educates and informs you about ‘green’ considerations,
materials, alternatives and even programs
to help you make critical decisions and
ensure your priorities are incorporated
throughout your project.
The Green
Building Decision Kit is designed for ease
of use. The presentation of information
is broken down into common sense sections
and easy to understand language. Rather
than make you search through a massive
book or database to find information, the
Kit incorporates a unique, patent-pending
matching tab system that allows for easy
retrieval of pertinent details. The Display
and Companion Pages are provided digitally
in a fully searchable Acrobat Reader format
so the user has the option to minimize
(or eliminate) what is printed on paper.
The Green
Building Decision Kit facilitates the use
of a design charrette. The modern-day definition
of a charrette refers to any collaborative
session in which the group drafts a solution
to a designated problem. It provides a
forum for ideas and offers the unique opportunity
for up-front planning, feedback and decision-making
while integrating the aptitude and interests
of a diverse group of people.
The Green
Building Decision Kit includes information
about traditional construction in addition
to various green alternatives. In this
way, you have what you need to make comparisons
and, therefore, informed decisions.
Additionally,
the Green Decision Matrix software included
with the kit provides a comparison of options
in each area of discussion based upon the
users input. The Matrix software begins
with input regarding your priorities (i.e.
costs, living style, embodied energy, environmental
impacts…) and uses these
priorities during the ‘weighting’ process
to provide a most favorable to least favorable
list for each component. (Click
here for a PDF describing the software.)
The Green
Building Decision Kit also provides helpful
tools to use during charrettes. These include
a three-minute timer and clickers for the
purpose of brainstorming. The Kit is packaged
in a cylindrical tube (like construction
plans) with instruction pages, Display
pages, tools and a USB thumb drive with
flash memory (containing the software and
digital Display and Companion Pages).
A
companion WORKBOOK is now available for
