I happened upon a book at our local library on creating "green homes" that proved to be very informative and inspiring. Good Green Homes by Jennifer Roberts with photography by Linda Svendsen. The photographs are worthy of coffee table status. From a dairy farm in Tucson to a Dewes Island near Charleston, South Carolina, this resource features homes built with ecology and human comfort in mind. The chapter on row houses and New Urbanism centers was particularly interesting.
Thinking about building green? You'll find information from roofing to flooring, windows to water consertation, steel buildings to adobe and straw bale construction. I rarely take time to peruse a book cover to cover but this one captured my attention long enough to have the library call and say it was overdue.
Enjoy!
