Imagine having a house that is warm in winter and yet cool in summer! Nick Hollo gives simple explanations of the principles of low-energy housing design, and illustrates these principles with a refreshing perspective and more than 110 examples from around Australia.
A nationwide search uncovered these inspirational examples, including project and kit homes, new architect-designed houses, renovations and extensions, and medium-density dwellings from all climatic zones. Basic principles are introduced and explained, and then expanded in more detail in an easy-to-follow progression.
Whether you are planning to renovate, build or buy, this book will offer you inspiration and ideas on how to make any house, anywhere, a comfortable and attractive place to live in all year round, while keeping electricity, gas and water bills comfortably low.
