The green build­ing move­ment has pro­duced hun­dreds of ​“how-to” books and web­sites filled with tips about what home­own­ers should do to ​“go green.” While infor­ma­tive when it comes to mak­ing actu­al design and pur­chas­ing deci­sions, they do not make it any eas­i­er for a home­own­er to pri­or­i­tize against a bud­get. Build­ing a Sus­tain­able Home: Prac­ti­cal Green Design Choic­es for Our Health Wealth and Soul pro­vides an acces­si­ble sim­pli­fied approach to cre­at­ing a sus­tain­able home. 

For any­one who is think­ing about build­ing or ren­o­vat­ing a home this book cuts through the clut­ter of the over­whelm­ing num­ber of ​“green” choic­es. Reveal­ing the true costs and ben­e­fits read­ers will gain invalu­able insight to use in their jour­ney toward a green­er way of liv­ing — and why it mat­ters. More than a guide­book it is an hon­est trans­par­ent look at how per­son­al choic­es in build­ing or ren­o­vat­ing a home can make a dif­fer­ence for a family’s health wealth and soul.
