1: Highly Recommend!!!
Very easy to do business with. Received book 2 days after I ordered it.

2: Decent overview, but thin on details
The book does a decent job of listing many of the green approaches to building. However, I found it lacking more of the details that would have made it more useful from my perspective. I am not an architect. Maybe those details are less necessary for someone with that background. As a future owner of what I hope to be a green home, this is a decent book. However, "Your Green Home" by Alex Wilson is probably a better introduction to the field.

3: very easy to read
I love this book, it is very detailed and easy to read. It is organized very well and is really helpful. It covers a lot of the basics of sustainable design. I do wish that it went more in-depth with a few things, but it is more of an overview type book.

4: Green Studio Handbook
This is a great book for anyone interested in designing sustainable buildings. There are 7 sections - envelope, lighting, heating, cooling, energy production, water and waste and case studies- with different strategies in each. The sections are very clear and explain what each strategy is, how it's achieved, the problems and design considerations for each. Also there are lots of diagrams, charts and real-world examples. I would highly recommend this book it is very easy to read and it makes what may seem like complicated sustainable systems, easy to implement into your own designs.

5: Excellent Resource, A Must Have
As an architecture student, I have found this to be an ideal source for helping me incorporate green design strategies into studio projects. Time is always valuable during the design process and having all this data under one cover is sure to save you bundles of it. Filled with top-notch photos, written descriptions, and evocative sketches and illustrations, I can't recommend this book enough.
