Description

For over 200,000 copies sold internationally, this comprehensive handbook provides a greener approach to building. Written by Johan van Lengen, a former United Nations worker and prominent architect, this book explains every aspect of sustainable building, including design, materials, and implementation. Discover the many options and important decisions you can make to create an eco-friendly dwelling, such as siting and climate considerations, that can save you thousands of dollars while helping the environment. The book covers topics like urban planning, small-scale energy production, and water management, and applies its principles to three distinct regions: humid areas, temperate areas, and desert climates. With hundreds of instructional drawings, novice builders can get started with ease.
