From the Publisher:
Learn How the Most Cutting-Edge Home in N. America was Built
Designed and constructed in Ontario, Canada, as part of the Advanced Houses Program, the Greenhome represents the cutting edge in energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in house construction. From the basement floor to the solar panels on the roof, the Greenhomes' material and systems were selected by a team of environment-conscious engineers and builders to ensure that this house will live more lightly on the land than any other house in North America.

From the basement floor to the solar panels on the roof, the Greenhomes' material and systems were selected by a team of environment-conscious engineers and builders to ensure that this house will live more lightly on the land than any other house in North America.
Wayne Grady, former editor of "Harrowsmith" magazine, followed the Greenhome from its planning stages. In this book, he takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the complex decision making involved in building a house with a respect for the environment.
Learn why pre-cast concrete was chosen for the foundation; why steel roofing is cheaper than asphalt; what heating system cuts fuel bills by 80 percent; which windows actually gain more heat than they lose; which appliances are the most energy-efficient; and a great deal more.
With its wealth of practical information and insight, "Greenhome" is a must read for anyone who plans to build or buy a house and for all those who recognize that the housing decisions we make today will affect the planet we live on forever.
