"""Another title in this publisher's series of compact, informative guides, this report summarises the issues faced by the construction industry when challenged to ensure sustainability is enforced and measured. Designed to provide an introduction rather than a comprehensive guide, the report outlines a sample of the tools and initiatives used to ensure enhanced performance in this wide, complex and ever-changing field. Brief and well illustrated, this title is an excellent starting point for those new to this particular area of sustainability.""
