An encyclopedic how-to of all you need to make your home green

Whether because of changing lifestyles or simply because houses are becoming outdated, millions of North Americans are renovating their homes every year, spending more money annually on renovation than on new home construction. But renovations can be fraught with unintended consequences like indoor air pollution. How do you remodel in a healthy, environmentally friendly way?

Green Remodeling is a comprehensive guide. It first points out the advantages of remodeling. Buildings are responsible for 40% of worldwide energy flow and material use; so how you remodel can make a difference. Upgrading furnaces, cabinets and toilets means less fossil fuel pollution, reduced resource depletion, and fewer health risks. Green remodeling is more energy-efficient, more resource-conserving, healthier for occupants and more affordable to create, operate and maintain.

The book then discusses simple green renovation solutions for homeowners, focusing on key aspects of the building including foundations, framing, plumbing, windows, heating and finishes. Room by room, it outlines the intricate connections that make the house work as a system. For example, how new windows may affect the structure and mechanical systems of the rooms below, the health of the family, and the future of old-growth forests. Then, in an easy-to-read format complete with checklists, personal stories, expert insights and an extensive resource list, it covers easy ways to save energy, conserve natural resources, and protect the health of loved ones. Addressing all climates, this is a perfect resource for conventional homeowners, as well as architects and remodeling contractors.

David Johnston has been at the center of the green building movement for more than three decades. In the 1970s and 80s Johnston established himself as a leader in passive solar design and construction. In 1980 Johnston founded the Passive Solar Industries Council and consulted with the US Department of Energy.

His award-winning Lightworks Construction, for ten years led the DC market solar design and construction.

In the early 90s, Johnston founded his international green building consulting and training firm, What's Working. Johnston's innovative theories about how to catalyze the transformation of the building industry became the blueprints for the Denver Built Green and California Build It Green programs. Particularly adept at generating green building guidelines, Johnston's work has guided master planned communities in Denver, Boulder, Sacramento, San Diego, Phoenix, and Durango, CO.

An authoritative source for green building education, Johnston has trained thousands of builders and industry professionals. Johnston has written three books: Building Green in a Black and White World (2000), Green Remodeling, Changing the World One Room at a Time (2004), and Green From the Ground Up (2008). His most recent work is Taunton Press' best seller since its release. His new book, Toward a Zero Energy Home is in its second printing after only two months on the market.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas A+ Informative jumping off point for people interested in environmental and social responsibility.
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 10 de agosto de 2005
    I didn't read it cover to cover but it was not the type of book to be read like that. All in all I'd say it does a good job covering what is a pretty broad topic; there are so many "green" strategies out there and it is hard to discuss them all. I thought it did a good job on the three or so different main categories and it connected them back to the common denominator. Save, protect, and preserve natural resources. It covers site and land usage, energy and water conservation, and interior and exterior material usage. The author took the difficult path of trying to sell `green' building as potentially cost effective, whereas in reality I think it is important to realize that capital costs will definitely be higher and it is hard to predict/confirm short term viable pay-backs. Once you put a value on your conscience and the long term big picture it makes obvious sense, reasonable pay-backs are definitely attainable but they come from diligent work and coordinated evaluation and integration.

    The author's section describing his own `Green Remodeling' projects was a great introduction in general to the integrated design/build process especially for people who are not accustomed to the ebb and flow of a construction project. His `green' strategies won't necessarily work for all of us, but I think he makes that clear too, the more significant thing to take from this section is the mentality of patience and acceptance that it will take to stay focused on and achieve your goals as an owner.

    He did a good job describing and detailing a huge portion of all the `green' building approaches, including all kinds of energy efficient systems, ways to address occupant comfort and health, and how to ponder and address social and environmental responsibility in every design decision. He developed sections on all the various rooms in a house so that the reader could evaluate what they really want from their construction project and then how to address each and achieve success within the specific project's constraints (time, budget, and goals). He gave good ideas: like to lay extra conduit in trenches so that at a later date you have an efficient way of expanding capacity without having to waste resources to repeat a job.

    I would be confidant in recommending this book to anyone focused on having a positive influence on environmental responsibility. I didn't think it was the most grammatically well written book I've read but it doesn't need to be. In real life it should be used as a reference and ultimately be covered with coffee stains, grease, and saw dust. As one evaluates green design strategies it is important to recognize that there is some disparity between approaches, some things you can do don't even cost a penny, whereas others require a substantial capital investment, neither one is necessarily more `green' then the other but it is the cognizant evaluation of each and focused approach that will ultimately promote a healthier environment in your own backyard and around the world. Take `em or leave `em, but consider and evaluate them all as integrated parts of the systems of your project, the systems of your own life style, the systems of your local community, and the systems of the world.

    A little outdated... Not all the suggestions in the book seem very green to me and while I was more after design elements that would make a house "greener" it is more focused on cheap/recycled materials used (some of which might not be readily available to everyone)

    I am an architect who in the last five years has been becoming more involved with sustainable architecture. I found "Green Building" to be a great resource in my office. After reading "Green Remodeling," I feel I have a better understanding of the newer methods of sustainable design/building that are imperitive to architecture in the future. Great job!

    3.0 de 5 estrellas decent but commercial and expensive
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 1 de junio de 2007
    this book was well written and fairly clear, even to me as a building novice. i was fairly disappointed, though, at how many of the green approaches seemed to focus on expensive, high-tech commercial green materials. i was hoping for a lot more on how to integrate traditional and very basic do-it-yourself techniques such as recycling used materials, mud plastering, simple greywater systems, and so on into existing buildings. in the end, i could hardly use any of the information in this book because i couldn't afford the materials. if you have the money, though, and are hoping for a very polished and professional look, you will probably enjoy this book.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas If you're remodeling, here's your book
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 28 de octubre de 2004
    I have been trying to remodeling my house for several years and have been using many different resources learning how to "green" my home. "Green Remodeling" has the most practical and useful information of any book I have come across on the subject. This book has been incredibly helpful to me and I recommend it to anyone who needs information on how to best use environmental products and methods.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Great way to think about green remodelling
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 21 de enero de 2007
    This book really shaped how I went about renovating my house. Although I wasn't able to incorporate as much as I had hope, due to budget constraints, this book opened my eyes to considerations I didn't know existed. It's easy to look at solar or wind power, bamboo flooring and recycled tiles to go green; this book goes through a house piecemeal to explain concerns on every level for a much more thorough discussion of renovating green. Extremely helpful.

    2.0 de 5 estrellas Surprised by high rating for this book
    Calificado en Estados Unidos el 8 de septiembre de 2009
    I was surprised by the number of people giving 5 stars to this book. Then I noticed that most of them dated 2004.
    I am a builder and stood with this book for 15 minutes in a book store and that was enough. It seems to be a rehash of information from various sources, even free Federal resources, but lacked a comprehensive approach; mixing "green" any way the authors wanted.
    This is a problem with the industry where 'green" is mixed with energy efficient is mixed with minimalism etc.
    The book never was good for a construction practitioner and now it's ideas are way way out of date even for a home owner.

    A wealth of information and easy to understand. It has lots of ideas for green remodeling, particularly suited for those who are doing a major remodel of an existing space or putting an addition on their house. The suggestions are well balanced (ie. not too extreme for the average home owner). If you are looking for a book that will give you ideas for remodeling or adding on that use eco friendly practices without compromising conventional look or conveniences, this is a great pick.
