Environmental Resource Guide

(ERG) from The American Institute of Architects expands on the utility of the previous version, addressing new materials and case studies. With the 1996 edition (reviewed in

EBN

Vol. 5, No. 2), John Wiley & Sons took over publication of the

ERG, which had been self-published by AIA since 1992.

The supplement adds three new Project Reports, three new Application Reports, and five new or revised Material Reports. The new Application Reports, on architectural coatings, carpeting, and glazings, were written by

EBN editors Wilson and Malin. The Material Reports include major updates to earlier reports on concrete and paint, a minor update to the carpet systems report, and new reports on non-glass glazing and pipe. The next supplement is scheduled for publication in January 1998.
