Alternatives Without Compromise
Green Design covers the gamut from daylighting to light fixtures, glazing to gasifiers, salvaging to solar, renewable energy from A to Z, and how it can all fit and work together within the home--and the extension of the home.
Here we focus on what's available, what's on the horizon, what's most practical and cost-effective, and what's most applicable to a particular climate or location. Some principles like thermal mass and daylighting can apply across the board, although they may be used in different ways depending on whether you live in Arizona or Alaska.
