SCE faculty David Bergman‘s book, Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide was published this spring by the Princeton Architectural Press.

Written for students and practitioners in the fields of architecture and interior design, Sustainable Design provides a concise overview of all the techniques available for reducing the energy footprint of structures and spaces. With clear, simple language and a practical “can-do” approach, Bergman covers everything from the profession’s ethical responsibility, to design structures and spaces that sustain our natural resources, to specific considerations such as rainwater harvesting, graywater recycling, passive heating techniques, solar orientation, green roofs, wind energy, daylighting, indoor air quality, material evaluation and specification, and how to work with green building certification programs.

Professor Bergman teaches in Parsons’ BFA Architectural Design, BFA Interior Design and BFA Product Design programs.
