The new autonomous house
"The New Autonomous House records the building of a house based on the principles of sustainable resources in the small town of Southwell in the British Midlands. As specialists in green architecture, the Vales sought to create an environmentally friendly four-bedroom house that was neither exotic in appearance nor difficult to maintain. They document the philosophy, design and construction of a building that can produce power from the sun and get drinking water from the rain.". "The New Autonomous House has a simple but revolutionary message: it is possible to live in an inexpensive house that is kind to the planet and liberates its owner from utility bills."--BOOK JACKET.
