The publication of the 2nd updated edition of the Handbook for Green Housing and Healthy Living was published through the Competence Centre for Sustainable Building in Vietnam (CCSB-VN), Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE), a cross-cutting institution that bundles trans-disciplinary expertise of sustainable building knowledge in Vietnam.
The Handbook’s main target groups are the rapidly developing urban middle classes (the so-called “new consumers”) with their sharply rising ecological footprint, agencies of government at all levels, businesses, especially companies in the construction industry, architects, teachers, students, and all others interested in green housing and healthy living. The content follows a multi-disciplinary holistic approach, providing practical guidelines for planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining sustainable housing and behavioral dimensions to improve energy efficiency and healthy living.
