Eco House Book
A complete guide to home improvement the environmentally friendly way: whether you want to redecorate or redesign your home, Terence Conran provides all the information you need to reduce your home's carbon footprint and improve the quality of your life.

There is a great deal we can do to convert our existing homes into greener, healthier places to live. The Eco House Book explains how relatively small and economic changes can be made, including simple repairs to improve energy efficiency, water saving tips, and productive gardening, to more dramatic overhauls such as redesigning room use, converting basements and extending your home.

Environmental issues should be part of every decision you make on the home front—from selecting fabric for soft furnishings to designing and siting a home extension.

Special focus is given to reducing the vast amounts of energy and water that homes consume on a daily basis, with advice on low energy lighting strategies and decorative choices, improving insulation and reducing energy use, the latest green heating systems, alternative ways of generating power, and electricity reducing appliances. As we are urged to change our lifestyles to reduce our carbon footprint and consumption of water, there has never been a better time to green your home.
