Can a new "green" building in China be a model for sustainable development? In this book we follow the design, construction, and occupancy of the Institute for Building Research in Shenzhen, China. The emphasis is on how the building performs, and the satisfaction of the building's owner/designers and the researchers and staff who occupy the building. Careful use of daylighting, natural ventilation, and countless details for sustainability have made this a showcase of environmental excellence.
