How to Design and Build Your Own Eco-Home

by Jon Broome

A highly illustrated, practical handbook on eco-friendly building for homeowners.

Whether you want a turf roof, solar-powered hot water, a straw bale home, or a super-insulated (and cost-efficient) house, you need to know the essential elements of the process.

The Green Self-Build Book gives inspiration and information to guide you through the green building process. It is intended for anyone who is planning a do-it-yourself project, and for housing professionals, students, and teachers.
