An excellent book regarding environmentally friendly and sustainable homes is “Good Green Homes” by Jennifer Roberts, published by Gibbs Smith www.gibbs-smith.com.
Roberts’ functional approach to writing hits on all the key points that Kenton emphasizes in his work with Global Homes. Chapters (and key points) include:
- Know Where You Are
- Size Matters
- Right-sized living
- You Have the Power
- Windows
- Daylighting and electric
- Heating/cooling/insulation
- Clean Living
- Build a Better Wall
- Use the Right Stuff
- Recycled
- Durable
Linda Svendsen’s photographs beautifully illustrate Roberts’ clear and straightforward writing. A thorough glossary adds further clarity. And a resource section cites many books, periodicals and Web sites for even more in-depth specifics.
