Drawing on the sustainability expert and Gardening Australia presenter's experience, this accessible handbook explains how to plan a high-performance home for Australian conditions using conventional materials and cost-conscious design. It covers passive solar principles, year-round comfort, insulation and ventilation, solar power, rainwater tanks, greywater recycling and productive organic gardens.
Illustrated with photographs, plans, charts, diagrams and useful measurements, it is valuable for homeowners, renovators, owner-builders, designers and anyone interested in sustainable living.
