Date Reviewed: May 2011
This book is clear and easy to follow. But, there is significant repetition across certain sections, which left me feeling that it is rather content-light. I would have welcomed greater depth discussion of certain areas e.g. sustainable methods of adding thermal mass, control of solar collection, expected lifespan of such structures, discussion of possible health issues regarding proposed building materials Also a few case studies? That said, a worthwhile read.
