Residential Architecture: Improving Building Performance

"Your home is arguably the most important building you inhabit. It is where you live your life. It is where you raise your children, your pets and your plants. It is the place of comfort you return to at the end of the day. It is a repository of memories and the generator of dreams.

This book emphasizes the financial factors of investing in sustainable homes, both the good and the bad. The initial cost of “going green” will result in increasing cost savings in the future as energy prices continue to rise. Throughout the book, there will be mention of different prices, financing options, and investment analysis which will provide the reader with a better understanding of residential sustainability and how it can positively affect life at home.
