Green building
What techniques and materials should you choose for your building project if you want to protect your health and that of the planet?
From natural building materials to construction techniques, this book examines the question with the help of 7 real-life case studies from France's main climatic zones. Jean-Claude Mengoni's selection criteria include energy efficiency, simplicity of construction, health safety and local availability. In the spotlight: wood-frame, straw or earth construction combined with plant-based insulation.
A real bible!
