    About this ebook


  • Author advises corporations on LEED Certification and build her own LEED certified home
  • There's a gap in the market that this book will fill as an up-to-date, authoritative, but accessible guide to building an eco friendly home on a budget. Many of the comps listed are older books because there hasn't been quite this kind of eco-friendly building book in several years.
  • This will appeal to laymen and women looking to make their homes more sustainable or energy efficient--it's not just for architects.
  • Beautiful photographs inspire readers
