About the Book

This book highlights the hidden resource costs associated with eco-roof construction and maintenance in three different climate zones: tropical, sub-tropical and temperate. It discusses the significance of system selection and the role played by user expectations in different geographic conditions, as well as the importance of maintenance, which is usually disregarded in evaluations but can be significant over the life of the system. It touches upon all major issues, ranked by their importance for achieving greater sustainability, and especially highlights those aspects that are not common knowledge. Hence it provides a practical guide for those involved in the construction industry and the general public, helping them select the optimal eco-roof for their respective project and achieve greater sustainability in the construction sector.

About the Author: Dr. Nalanie Mithraratne is currently an Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore. She is an architect and a leading Australasian academic in the life cycle assessment of construction systems, embodied energy assessment, and carbon and energy footprinting. Her contribution to knowledge in the fields of 'Energy and Environment' spread across many sectors, including residential buildings, food, infrastructure and transport. The aim of her research is to establish a quantitative basis to evaluate actual performance of conventional as well as alternative measures in order to understand the level of exposure to drivers of change and to identify design adaptations necessary for efficient resource use. Her book, 'Sustainable living', offering guidance to home owners on reducing the resource use and pollution, has attracted acclaim as one of the ten essential readings on sustainable practices for various aspects of modern life.
