David Gottfried has published three memoirs about his life and the rise of the green building movement, including the award-winning Explosion Green, which received three Next Generation Indie Book Awards and became a bestseller.

His fourth book, Regen360: An Operating System for a Regenerative Earth, publishes October 2026 at Greenbuild New York City and is available for preorder here. The book proposes an Earth Code of 15 governing equations for a regenerative civilization - a fourth world. Part memoir, part systems blueprint, it asks what happens when the founder of the green building movement concludes that the movement isn't enough and puts his systems brain into high gear.
