Product Description

Product Description

This is a no-nonsense guide to green building. This books offers simple, but not simplistic, advice and information for both renovators and builders. It provides a no-nonsense guide to anyone wishing to build their own home or upgrade an existing house in a sustainable way. A sustainable home is one that minimises its impact on the planet in terms of the materials its built from, the energy and resources used in its construction, and the energy and resources used by the people living in it. Creating a more sustainable home with lower carbon emissions (and lower running costs) is an achievement in itself. This book will show readers how to design a sustainable home, and explain which approaches make the best commercial and environmental sense. "Simply Sustainable Homes" is approachable and interesting. It is destined to become the benchmark by which other 'green' building books are judged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing, 11 April 2008
By Andy Thomas (Manchester) - See all my reviews
This is not the biggest book in the world but it conatins an amazing amount of really useful info presented in a really accessible way. I've just read the book and I am bowled over. Ive read quite a lot about 'green homes' and this is by far the simplest - but it is also the most packed with information because the author describes what the technology can do, when you might want to use it and the pros and cons. Tim Pullen is not afraid to say that some things may not make financial (or even carbon footprint reducing) sense. He is also keen to promote what he calls 'The Unsexy' such as insulation. Quite simply the best book to date on green homes.
