Sustainable Home Refurbishment

Sustainable Home Refurbishment
The Earthscan Expert Guide to Retrofitting Homes for Efficiency
By David Thorpe

Today environmentalism and energy efficiency is, or should be, at the forefront of all we do in terms of new builds. However for the majority of us with homes build before the developments we see today the experts must be ready to bring our homes up to speed in the most effective ways possible. This book is a guide to that process.

When someone like George Monbiot says 'This is an excellent book... It should be the first stop for anyone seeking objective advice in a field cluttered with misleading claims. I couldn't recommend it more strongly.' you know the book is worth taking seriously. Covering a range of efficiency refurbishments for domestic settings the book is well presented and illustrated.

A book offering a strong range of information is what is needed and this book by David Thorpe, News Editor of Energy and Environmental Management magazine, covers a catalogue of topics from water use and re-use to draught-proofing.

As a not very practical everyday guy this book probably isn't written for me but if you work in the industry or are just one of the very able hobbyists out there this book is for you. If you haven't got a copy go out and get one pronto!
