Description
While Zero (fossil) Energy Development (ZED) is generally regarded as a positive innovation, in practice this option is not taken up or fully implemented. A planner, councillor, developer, housing association representative, architect, contractor, building component manufacturer and government officer would all have different reasons for not espousing ZED standards for their new-build projects, but the result would be the same. The Zed Book tackles the reasons why this happens, systematically dismantling the defence against its adoption. It explains the principles behind ZED fossil energy development and provides a ZED toolkit of methods and case studies to enable construction professionals and policy makers to realise a ZED build as easily as a conventional scheme.

Featured Reviews
Ecologist, 2008
A remarkable achievement, both for the initiative it documents - probably the most comprehensive sustainable building system in the UK - and for being a reference manual as at home on the coffee table as it is on the study shelf.
This book is at once an instrumental manual and a testament; a roadmap to future success, but also, crucially, a laudable record of what has already been achieved.
