Whether you live in a town house, a village colonial, a country
barn, or a coastal saltbox, you can convert your old house into an
ecologically sound new house. This design book provides inspiration
for aesthetically pleasing and practical renovations that can
change the environment one house at a time. Starting with a section
on basic planning, this guide walks you through some major
considerations necessary to the success of an eco-renovation. Tour
45 projects around the country, including homes that have been
reconfigured, renovated, added to, or otherwise redone to address
everything from the size of the buildings footprint and energy
needs, to its use of sustainable or even reused materials and its
pollution emissions. Illustrated with nearly 300 photos and
building plans, and complete with design resources, this is a great
reference for anyone considering an eco-renovation.
