The Smarter Green Book from James Hardie looks at the environmental impact of the built environment.

The Smarter Green Book from James Hardie offers a detailed overview of the current push for sustainable development and how to go about attaining a greener house and neighbourhood. A useful free guide to sustainable construction, The Smarter Green Book looks at subjects ranging from embodied energy to the impact of manufacture and construction, while outlining the relative environmental strengths of fibre cement, brick and other products.
