About this title

Synopsis

The best-selling and highly regarded reference to sustainable construction gets an update! Its refreshed with a completely revised introduction, a bright new cover and extensive online resource tie-ins. Plus, its now printed on recycled paper with agri-based inks, so its greener than ever! This groundbreaking book doesn't just tell you about 'green' house-building techniques: it actually shows you, with more than 1,200 step-by-step photographs that follow the actual erection of an alternative building, from site selection to final-touch interior details. Readers will get a clear sense of the real world challenges as Snell and Callahan create a lovely country cottage using four methods: straw bale, cob, cordwood and modified stick-frame. Along with sidebars throughout, theres a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of building construction, alternative approaches and designing a beautiful yet environmentally responsible home. Building Green was the first book of its kind and it remains head and shoulder above other titles in this field.

About the Author

Clarke Snell has decades of experience in green building, sustainability and low impact living. Author of The Good House Book, he lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina in a partially-bermed, passive-solar house in a small intentional community they helped create. Tim Callahan is a designer, inventor and 'recovering general contractor' with over 30 years of experience in a broad range of design and building projects. Together, Clarke and Tim run a design, consulting, research and rabble-rousing network dedicated to the development of high-performance natural building systems.
