Description:
This book is perfect for people who are thinking of building a new house in the next couple of years but don’t want to pay exorbitant energy bills.

Topics include principles of energy efficiency, how the weather affects your home, proper time to build, orientation, alternative energy and landscaping for energy efficiency.
