Ecohouse 2 explains how to design low energy, environmentally friendly buildings. It provides the foundations for building design in a warming world, and shows how to take the first step towards the zero-carbon emission buildings of tomorrow. By using her own house as a case-study, the author guides the reader through the ideas for energy efficient design or 'eco design'. This second edition introduces new sections including earth sheltering and reed beds. It also explores 24 case-studies of ecohouses from around the world. It is a comprehensive reference for architects, designers and their clients, as well as self builders, who wish to help make sustainable design a reality.
