Green by Design: Creating a Home for Sustainable Living

Rating:
Summary: Green by Design
Review: Although I am very much a supporter of green products and design, I found this book a little too outdated. Most of the ideas in this book I have heard before. I found that this book was similar to most of the other books I have read concerning green building. I just picked up "Green Remodeling" recently by David Johnston and Kim Master, and find the ideas much more updated and applicable to modern home design

Summary: Enjoyable, but not comprehensive.
Review: This book is a very nice primer for green building and has lovely pictures, but it is not really suited as an exhaustive resource for the would be home builder.

I bought this book as an enhancement to my collection of books on the topic of green building. The ideas presented are sound and I especially like the pictures and descriptions of the various approaches people have taken with their homes.
