THE ECOLOGICAL ENGINEER is a new book series that celebrates the most innovative engineers in North America and the practices and principles that they use to produce functionally outstanding structures, systems and technologies, in a way that embraces the emerging philosophy of sustainable design. Organized into three critical sections – Practice, Principles and Projects, the book provides a valuable resource and touchstone for engineers, architects and other design professionals who hope to embrace an ethic that is responsible to both people and the environment.
VOLUME ONE: KEEN ENGINEERING focuses on the innovative work of one of the leading sustainable MEP firms in North America – KEEN Engineering. As mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers who work on projects all over the continent, they have consistently been inspiring on multiple levels – as a company, as individuals and just by the sheer volume and quantity of their work.
