A Complete Guide to Green Building Options A new generation of architects and builders is emerging, intent on creating homes that meet human needs for shelter while causing only a fraction of the environmental impact of conventional housing. The New Ecological Home provides an overview of green building techniques, materials, products, and technologies that are either currently available or will be in the near future. Author Daniel Chiras provides a wealth of up-to-date, practical information for home buyers, owner-builders, and anyone interested in building for a sustainable future. Included are chapters on The Healthy House, Green Building Materials, Wood-Wise, Construction, Energy Efficiency, Earth-Sheltered Architecture, Passive Solar Heating and Passive Cooling, Green Power: Electricity from the Sun and Wind, Water and Waste: Sustainable Approaches, and Environmental Landscaping. Daniel D. Chiras is a leading authority on green building and renewable energy options for home construction. He is the author of numerous books, including The Solar House and The Natural House, both distributed in the UK by Green Books. He lives in Evergreen, Colorado.
