Description
Wind, water, solar energy - more and more people are harnessing these natural resources to create a dynamic, forward-looking life-style.
These alternate energy enthusiasts conceived, planned, built, and now live in a fascinating variety of habitats - rural and urban - the simplest hand-built dwellings, houses you might find next door, and the most technologically advanced buildings.
Design for a Limited Planet illustrates in vivid photographs and complete details how the houses were built, how much they cost, how much fuel they save - and what it's like to live in them.
With on-location interviews, diagrams showing how alternate systems work, and sources to go to if you're thinking of building or converting.
