Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Housing Second Edition written by Andrew T. Carswell and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 1308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the groundbreaking Encyclopedia of Housing in 1998, many issues have assumed special prominence within this field and, indeed, within the global economy. For instance, the global economic meltdown was spurred in large part by the worst subprime mortgage crisis we′ve seen in our history. On a more positive note, the sustainability movement and "green" development has picked up considerable steam and, given the priorities and initiatives of the current U.S. administration, this will only grow in importance, and increased attention has been given in recent years to the topic of indoor air quality. Within the past decade, as well, the Baby Boom Generation began its march into retirement and senior citizenship, which will have increasingly broad implications for retirement communities and housing, assisted living facilities, aging in place, livable communities, universal design, and the like. Finally, within the last twelve years an emerging generation of young scholars has been making significant contributions to the field. For all these reasons and more, we are pleased to present a significantly updated and expanded Second Edition of the Encyclopedia of Housing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ICC 700-2020 National Green Building Standard® (NGBS) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) --approved, residential building standard. This fourth edition was developed by an independent consensus committee of a broad range of stakeholders in partnership between the International Code Council and the National Association of Home Builders. The NGBS outlines a variety of green design and construction practices that can be incorporated into your single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use buildings, either for new construction or remodeling. The NGBS also includes green practices for land development projects as well as assisted living facilities, residential board, and care facilities, and group homes. The NGBS includes high-performance building practices in six areas: Lot Design and Development, Resource Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Building Operation & Maintenance. The NGBS has four primary certification levels--Bronze, Silver, Gold and Emerald, providing residential building professionals options to integrate sustainability and high-performance into their project at a level most appropriate for their business model, customer base and local housing market. A new compliance path (Certified) customized for single-family and townhome dwellings is added in the 2020 Edition. The NGBS also offers a compliance path for residential and mixed-use communities with four levels of land development practices, ranging from One-Star through Four-Star. The 2020 edition expands the application of innovative practices, offers additional options towards achieving certification, and builds upon a decade strong foundation of program use. The NGBS continues to provide architects, builders, and developers the flexibility needed to design and construct homes and mixed-use buildings that are sustainable, cost-effective and appropriate for a home's geographic location.

Download or read book Healthy Resilient and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.
