In this book, Christopher Day draws on his extensive experience to explain the key principles of eco-home design, focussing on natural methods rather than expensive technology. Beautifully illustrated, it highlights how aesthetics, comfort, and economy arise from eco-responsible design: they're not add-ons, nor are ecology and art in conflict. This book will give you essential guidance in: * Working with your surroundings * Understanding what you can do yourselves * Choosing your materials * Making sure your eco home suits your needs * Ecobuilding without relying on technology * Refitting an existing building |
