Divided into chapters on design strategies, case studies from around the world, surface finishes, and long-term practices, this book lives up to its subtitle, “an essential sourcebook for environmentally friendly design and decoration”. The photos are terrific, too. Quote: “You may not, for example, be able to change the siting, orientation, or basic construction of your home, but you can improve its insulation, install solar slates in place of conventional roofing, or extend your home in such a way as to benefit from passive solar gain.”

A fun and informative book with great pictures. Not a bunch of case studies of individual houses so much as design principles for housing.
