The Green Self-build Book : How to Design and Build Your Own Eco-home

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

In "The Green Self-Build Book", Jon Broome gives an overview of the different methods of sustainable and eco-friendly construction techniques, and presents this information in a way that is relevant to non-professionals.

The book includes case studies of green building techniques such as earth and straw bale buildings. "The Green Self-Build Book" gives inspiration and information to guide you through the green self-build process.

It is intended for anyone who is planning a self-build project, and also for housing professionals, students and teachers.
