Description

Making Your Home Sustainable is a practical and easy-to-follow guide for home-owners, builders and architects who are concerned about the effects of climate change and environmental degradation and want to do something about reversing the trend.

Derek Wrigley shows how simple modifications to existing homes can help to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and utilise natural rather than imported energies and resources. Amongst other things he explains how to rationalise energy and water consumption; install a solar hot-water system; and utilise wasted sunlight to heat and illuminate your home. With detailed descriptions and diagrams this is an ideal guide for anyone looking to make their home more energy-efficient and sustainable.

Particularly relevant to Australian homes.
