A comprehensive approach to design that incorporates sustainable principles and design strategies for the decarbonization of construction. The book Carbon: A Field Manual for Designers and Builders offers professionals in the field an approach to sustainable design that embraces building science principles, life cycle analysis, and design strategies in carbon-neutral construction.

The book contains information on carbon in building materials and the building design process. It is filled with explanatory diagrams and sketches that help evaluate the potential impact of design decisions on carbon emissions creation. It includes an interesting series of case studies exploring carbon reduction strategies, suggests steps for assessing the carbon footprint of a building, and reviews the storage and release of carbon materials.

The guidelines analyzed in the book can be implemented, reproduced, and applied to reduce carbon emissions and create more sustainable buildings. Some key aspects of the book include:

• An effective approach to sustainable design in construction
• Integration of building science principles, life cycle analysis, and strategies in carbon-neutral constructions
• A description of the methodology for quantifying the carbon flow in the built environment
• Analysis of carbon reduction strategies based on a case study of a building designed by the authors

Carbon: A Field Manual for Designers and Builders is an essential resource for professionals dedicated to creating sustainable projects.
