The Handbook for Green Products is a tangible product of the working group on "Climate-Adapted Housing and Energy-Efficient Buildings" within the "Megacity Research Project TP. Ho Chi Minh" funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research as part of special research initiative "Research for Sustainable Megacities of Tomorrow". Its visual and content design builds upon the highly successful Handbook for Green Housing, published by our team in 2011.

The Handbook for Green Products provides information in an accessible format about technical and constructive corporate solutions and services for climate-adapted and energy-efficient commercial and residential buildings in Vietnam. It focuses on aspects of insulation, because surveys have shown that this offers the highest potential for energy saving. Like the Handbook for Green Housing, this product pursues a bottom-up approach by trying to convince people rather than to force them by regulations. 

The main target group for this Handbook are end-consumers in Vietnam, construction and engineering companies, architects, manufacturers, developer enterprises, and institutions of higher education. It is not necessary to read the chapters in sequence. The readers are invited to retrieve information about selected product types or green services according to their specific needs. Download
