Description
Buildings are places for comfort and joy. Buildings account for more than 40 percent of all emissions and have a huge impact on our environment. Professionals in the building industry are implementing sustainable building practices to create green buildings and infrastructure to lower emissions. But for cooling our environment, we need to learn about the root causes of global warming. All our activities continue to warm the planet. Extreme weather events are on the rise and heat related deaths and illnesses are going up. We witness such weather routinely. What shall we do? Personal actions are not enough but they are motivators for bigger actions. For that, we must reach out to our lawmakers for policies that would help us transition towards clean energy research, development and deployment. Let us focus on thoughtful policies to create a livable world for all.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Cooling Our Environment is not just a book for architects and builders. Kalpana Sutaria’s work is for all of us who are committed to solving global warming. Drawing on the wisdom of design from the past to new effective possibilities that are coming in our futures we get an important view of how to solve the problem. Joan Baez said 'action is the antidote to despair.' Sutaria's book gives us a clear path to action." - Mark Reynolds, Formers Executive Director, Citizens Climate Lobby
"Sutaria’s passion for sustainability is evident in each chapter. With its technical expertise and heartfelt storytelling blend, Cooling Our Environment will educate and motivate readers to work toward a sustainable future. This book should be in every school and used as a learning tool for current and future generations to understand the responsibility for preserving the planet." - Carol Thompson, Readers' Favorite
"It’s a full-circle book—one that not only introduces problems in clear ways but provides solutions in ways that only Sutaria could have. The personal touch of Ahmedabad is what makes her expertise so specific and trustworthy—how many people in the world have this kind of knowledge? It’s time to listen up. The country needs to look beyond what it knows of itself in order to understand where to go from here." - Toni Woodruff, Independent Book Review
"Cooling our Environment: An Architect’s Vision to Combat Global Warming will make readers stop and take a look at the footprints they are creating today. After reading this book, readers will be equipped to put into practice positive changes in order to shape a healthier environment for our future." - Diana Coyle, Feathered Quill Reviews
