Acknowledgments

would like to thank the people who have helped educate me on various aspects of
green building, politely listened to me talk excitedly about sustainability, and have
Ihelped me research or review some of the specific items in the text over the past few
years. Of particular note in this second edition is my youngest daughter Heidi Marie
Brakewood who contributed many of the photos, including the cover photo which is of
the Shell Woodcreek Office and Multipurpose Building Complex in Houston, TX. Then
there is my husband Mike Navarro, who makes my work a pleasure by constantly
encouraging me to continue in my efforts to teach and research “sustainability,” even
incorporating many of the green concepts in his daily work.
