Synopsis

Going green at home can seem like an all-or-nothing proposition. Do you sell everything (including the house) and start over, building and buying only eco-friendly, renewable goods? Or do you take the advice offered up in this smart and sensible book and remodel instead? Green building expert Barry Katz makes a compelling argument for remodelling, as he guides readers through what can be a perplexing and daunting process. Katz explains how different choices impact a home's overall green quotient, as well as its bottom line. Emphasising off-the-shelf materials, the book shows how homeowners of ordinary means can 'green up' a remodel, resulting in less waste, more energy-efficient homes, lower maintenance costs and healthier, more comfortable environments. This is an essential guide for anyone who has ever wanted to go green but wasn't sure where to begin.
