    The World's Greenest Buildings - The latest green building book from author, keynote speaker and sustainability consultant Jerry Yudelson - http://www.greenbuildconsult.com - asks: How can green buildings have a meaningful impact on global sustainability? What's the truth about how green buildings really perform? How much water do they consume? How much energy do they save? In Yudelson's important new book, "The World's Greenest Buildings: Promise vs Performance in Sustainable Design," Yudelson and co-author Ulf Meyer answer these questions and more. Using 55 case studies of LEED Platinum and equivalent buildings from 18 countries, the book offers detailed data on energy use and water consumption.
