Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Down and dirty – a complete step-by-step guide to making, installing and living with beautiful, all-natural earthen floors Poor heat and moisture management are the enemies of durable, comfortable, and efficient housing, and good building design and construction starts with a solid understanding of good building science. Essential Building Science provides a highly visual and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of building science for residential construction. Part one covers the rationale behind high-performance design and the fundamentals of building physics, including thermal dynamics, moisture transfer, and hygro-thermal dynamics such as vapor drive and condensation. Part two teaches the vital critical thinking skills needed to consider buildings as whole systems and to develop thermal and moisture control strategies regardless of the specifics of the design. Case studies and examples from across North American climatic zones illuminate real-life problems and offer builders, designers, and DIYers the insights and tools required for creating better new buildings and dramatically improving old ones. Good science plus critical thinking equals high performance buildings.

Book excerpt: Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment--but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a "perfect" solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible. A Pretty Good House is: * A house that's as small as possible * Simple and durable, but also well designed * Insulated and air-sealed * Above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient.

Book excerpt: Every homeowner wants to protect the investment they've made in their home. As maintenance issues occur, The Home Book will become a homeowner's main reference for determining how to proceed with every condition of home ownership. With more than 380 residential workmanship guidelines in a single reference, The Home Book accomplishes what no other homeowner book has done: establish and define workmanship guidelines applicable in all 50 states. The conditions addressed have historically been issues that result in litigation between builders and homeowners. The Home Book helps to avoid litigation by assigning responsibility for each condition discussed. The Home Book is intentionally written for the layperson and clearly outlines the building guidelines that should be met during the construction or remodeling of a home. The Home Book is an extremely valuable reference for every homeowner, builder, contractor, inspector, real estate agent, and property management company.
