MoreClifton Park, NY – Delmar, a leading provider of learning solutions for ongoing career development and education, and part of Cengage Learning, announced the release of The Green Home: A Decision Making Guide for Owners and Builders.
The Green Home explains how builders, contractors and homeowners can ensure that a home meets the highest green standards within a given construction budget. Written by Lynn Underwood, an experienced building code official, the book explores the latest construction techniques, materials, processes and green practices that will reduce the environmental impact of the building itself. The guide covers a range of topics from sustainable, resource-efficient design to energy efficient practices such as water conservation, renewable energy production and the usage of natural materials, all while consistently focusing on zoning ordinance and building code compliance. Detailed color photographs illustrate key concepts and help readers to visualize various green building components. With thorough explanations of the many benefits of green building, this is the perfect guide to creating an environmentally-sound home.
“The Green Home is a seamless integration of pertinent aspects of the International Code Council (ICC) Codes and the National Green Building Standard (published by NAHB),” said Ed Francis, Product Development Manager, Delmar. “It is one of the only books on the market that is a resource for both homebuilders and homeowners, making it a highly practical and relevant guide.”
