Items related to Designing for Biodiversity: A Technical Guide for New...
The built environment has the potential to have a major impact on biodiversity, not least with the increasingly demanding requirements to design more energy efficient and airtight buildings, leaving less space for species to inhabit. The construction industry has an important role to play in ensuring that buildings are designed and refurbished in a way in which biodiversity can be enhanced. Through written guidance and architectural drawings, this book advises on how to incorporate provision for biodiversity within developments. With sections on different building-reliant species, general principles for design, ready-made products that be incorporated into designs, and legislation, policy and regulations, this book is an invaluable resource for all architects, ecologists and anyone involved in designing or briefing for biodiversity in buildings.

Review:
This is an excellent one-stop-shop of a book, if you are thinking about encouraging biodiversity into your new build or modifications of your house. Designing for Biodiversity gives the majority, if not all, the information that you need in one place and I would vouch that it is a highly useful book for ecologists, architects and urban- planners alike. --Bill Haines, Freelance Ornithologist at West London Birding
