Includes all of the ASTM standards that are referenced by the U.S. Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers as of January 2007.

This new edition, on CD-ROM only, includes nearly 150 ASTM standards that address the sustainable design, construction, and operation of products used in building. These standards deal with various aspects of sustainability for a particular building material and the general principles for life cycle assessment.

Standards cover:
• Site and Ecosystems
• Water
• Energy
• Materials
• Indoor Environmental Quality
• Operations

A "must-have" resource for all those in the public and private sector who must meet the growing demand for sustainable building.

A valuable reference for planners and developers; architects; landscapers; engineers; general contractors and subcontractors; financial organizations related to the building industry; insurance organizations; building material and product manufacturers; government agencies and building officials.
