Toxic Chemical Reduction in Buildings

Welcome

Welcome to the website for the SEDA guide on Design and Detailing for Toxic Chemical Reduction in Buildings, the third web mounted design guide commissioned by SEDA - the Scottish Ecological Design Association - and funded by a Sustainable Action Grant from the Scottish Executive.

The guide is divided into six chapters; chapters one to five examine the context and principles of designing for Toxic Chemical Reduction. Chapter six shows five typical construction details together with alternatives which optimise the potential for each detail to exploit toxic chemical reduction techniques, along with explanations and costs. These five are available as a pdf download for the entire document.

The research presented on this site was prepared by Gaia Architects, Gaia Research and John Gilbert Architects.

Also in this series of guides:
Design Guide 1: Design and Detailing for Deconstruction
Design Guide 2: Design and Detailing for Airtighness
