(b) each volume's index to include references to the other volume's contents?
(c) more exhaustive technical source data - for example where in either volume is a full list of common U
values especially of existing trad building materials - neither indices help at all; &
(d) larger and more detailed climate conditions maps to allow to allow a specific location to be assessed also h
add an overlay of at least motorways or perhaps main contours.

(The Whole House book's index is also weak by the way).]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1463#Comment_1463 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1463#Comment_1463 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 17:28:26 +0100 GBP-Keith http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1464#Comment_1464 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1464#Comment_1464 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 17:44:39 +0100 nigel
Eg:
Solid External Wall
Timber Frame External Wall
External Wall insulation
Solid Floors.
Underfloor heating
Roofs structures - Warm and cold roof details.

The above can in particular address cold bridging and airtightness.

I would also like to see more focus on the actual performance of well designed energy efficient buildings.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1466#Comment_1466 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=1466#Comment_1466 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 19:46:59 +0100 Chris Wardle http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=6402#Comment_6402 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=84&Focus=6402#Comment_6402 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:44:12 +0100 jon Yes, a small section on whole life costing would be useful with cross-reference from embodied energies (eg page 277): Reason for this is that you can't accurately assess embodied environmental impact without reference to both the durability and also versatility of the built environment (it is, for instance, possible to prove that some concrete and brick technologies produce less C02 than imported timber per anum of lifespan).

Also, it might be worth, if you have resources, to have your web links to the green building bible website rather than direct so that you can update the links as required (it also gives people a link into this site)

So, for instance, rather than having a link to http://projects/bre.co.uk/sap2005/ (which is now dead as far as I can see) you would link to http://www.greeenbuildingbible.co.uk/links/sap2005/ and the index.html would autoredirect to the appropriate website as long as it's alive and then become a new links page as things change

True,. The way I've seen it done is to put a 1 second autodelay on the link so that your index.html shows up (with a little message saying something like, 'if the link is broken, click here to notify us') which puts the onus onto the reader to keep your links up to date for you. On the other hand, having links die does help to persuade people to update their editions. On the other hand again, if a link is dead and people try to use it, you could use your index.html to inform them that a new edition is available.

All the best
