... I just sold my book '' Sustainable Residential development" book by avi friedman,and I am planning to buy the same type of book that caters to a broader building typology and by which, I could use as a handbook whenever I design buildings.
Energy Manual Technical German book but still quite general and covers passive strategies, materials and technologies.
Sun, Wind and Light Essential book for most college level environmental design courses... good introduction to the basics of sustainable design.
Natural Ventilation in Buildings Good introduction to applying natural ventilation in buildings, but due to the nature of the subject, can be quite dry.
Let me know if you want more technical books getting into the building physics as these are the real gems of the specialty... but generally too dry for most people. Also let me know if you need more case study/survey books.
recommendations: sustainable architecture books
