This is a excellent overview and introduction to a very complex subject. The authors do a great job of explaining “Green” concepts and how they relate to all of the processes and systems in residential construction today. It’s not really a “how-to”, but that couldn’t fit in one book. But it does outline all of the green technologies and choices available. “Green” is kind of a moving target. This book gives you the framework you need to figure out a “Green” approach to any project and all the information you need to get started finding the most appropriate systems and technologies. It’s a great starting point, very well written, practical, and not a bit preachy.

Bravo Klopf Architecture! Another truly inspired project that will enhance the Earth’s carrying capacity and raise the bar for Green Point Rating. I appreciated the discussion on Structural Insulated Panels, Insulated Concrete Forms and that cool spectrally selective “smart glass”. Thank you Mark English @ Green Compliance — perhaps insightful press like this will encourage prospective homeowners to take the plunge with a greater commitment to green renovation projects.

what a great article. It would be great to see this house when it is all done.

green homes are getting more popular here in Minnesota but they tend to be fewer and farther between.

Nice read, especially for any fans of green living and Eichler designs
