This had the aim of fostering novel principles of design, construction and management for new office buildings which created a comfortable and healthy workplace whilst reducing energy use and environmental impact. The design had to apply solutions which could be copied in the marketplace. The building was monitored and analysed during the design process and extended monitoring of the building in use will continue. The Environmental Building has been designed to test techniques of sustainable construction into the next century. The disk is a valuable teaching resource for studying this innovative new building, and is technically and visually appealing in its handling of the contents.
Web pages are also on the disk.
