Abstract

Trying to impart concepts and practices of sustainable housing and health to the public, the Handbook aims to apply a “non-expert” and “easy-to-understand” language, adequate visual effects, and user-friendly design. The Handbook’s main target groups are the rapidly developing urban middle classes (the so-called “new consumers”) with their sharply rising ecological footprint, agencies of government at all levels, businesses, especially companies in the construction industry, architects, teachers, students, and all others interested in green housing and healthy living. The content follows a multi-disciplinary holistic approach, providing practical guidelines for planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining sustainable housing and behavioral dimensions to improve energy efficiency and healthy living. While the book content might focus on the most rapidly developed housing typology in Vietnam, high-rise residential buildings, the principles and solutions introduced are applicable to all other types of housing in Vietnam.
