| Synopsis: |
A retro-fit offers many benefits: cutting electricity and heating bills, increasing the resale value of homes, slashing carbon emissions and creating a healthier place to live. This book is the guide to making it happen. It looks at: * draught-proofing, insulation and damp * ventilation, heating and cooling * electrical efficiency and renewable energy * water use and re-use * materials' life cycles and incorporating nature * protection from climate change impacts - modelling energy flows and embodied energy * how we can meet the need to cut carbon emissions from dwellings by eighty percent by 2050. Projects can apply to apartment blocks, recent builds and older, solid-walled properties. Enlivened with helpful diagrams and photographs, plus plenty of pointers for further information, it provides a comprehensive resource handbook for any building professional and contractor, students - or any homeowner serious about efficiency (cash and carbon) savings. |
