Natural materials are increasingly being valued for their use in a
wide range of techniques and solutions, not just for building
cabins in the countryside, but also for housing, schools and city
structures. As the need to respond to climate change becomes a
serious requirement for all building projects, so too does our
understanding of how these bio-based and renewable materials can
help to reduce carbon emissions. With convincing evidence that
natural materials work as well as, if not better than, conventional
materials, this helpful guide offers an outline of many of the
materials, products and methods of construction that are available,
equipping readers with confidence to create healthy, ecological
homes. This comprehensive book will be of interest to
self-builders, home owners, architects, housing developers and
specifiers, as well as environmentalists, eco builders and
campaigners who want to reduce the impact of construction on the
planet.
