Description

Redux offers a host of solutions for creating a green home with recycled, reused, and environmentally healthy materials, whether remodelling, redecorating, or building from the ground up. The focus is on renovation (energy efficiency, salvaging, where to find good old stuff), adaptation (preservation, old stuff to avoid, restoration) and new construction (ecologically intelligent design, straw bale, and green architects). This book combines extensive salvage use with the larger goal of efficiency and environmentalism with a series of case studies in each category. These are in North America but the lessons can be applied much more widely.

Author Jennifer Roberts launched two retail stores in San Francisco specialising in environmentally sensible consumer products, including household goods. She is a freelance writer and editor on topics that include energy-efficient building design and systems.
