Filled cover to cover with full-color photographs, architectural plans, and detailed drawings, this book features more than 20 projects, which explore various aspects of green design, from its ecological and economical benefits, to factors considered when choosing materials: How much energy went into manufacturing the product, whether it is long lasting, and whether it can be recycled or safely disposed of as it breaks down over time. Specific topics covered include climate regulation, drainage systems, and regional planning. With a wealth of eco-friendly projects, Green Homes reveals how much the parameters of ecological design have expanded in just a few short years."--BOOK JACKET ER -
