Fantastic Overview of Climate Sensitive strategies

This book draws on a variety of sources, including vernacular heritage, to briefly describe the science, provenance, advantages and disadvantages of various passive strategies. It is a comprehensive document and despite much further reading I have yet to find a strategy elsewhere not mentioned in this book. Very easy to read and dip into.

One of the Best Around

If you are interested in passive and sustainable design, this book explains the principles very easily. It also takes it further by breaking down which principles to use in what climates. A new edition of this book is only released once about every ten years, so get your hands on it. My teacher is co-author of the living building challenge, and she was the one who interested me in this book. That is why I had to immediately by the new edition that was released this February. Enjoy, it is no frills easy to understand book that is really geared towards passive design.

Excellent design guide

Excellent book for anyone who is designing a home or simply wants to improve the energy efficiency of an existing home. Gave me lots of detailed design concepts as to how to accomplish this based on many factors such as climate type, wind direction, window size and location, etc. It will save me a fortune over the years. I do recommend the spiral bound version as it lays open flat, an advantage when you're reading, highlighting text, and studying the drawings.
