Product Description

The follow-up volume to the successful "Off the Grid: Modern Homes + Alternative Energy", Lori Ryker's newest book looks at six contemporary architectural projects that integrate alternative technologies for generating and conserving energy. Being off the grid can refer to many different aspects of energy and resource independence, from rainwater collection, to photovoltaic (PV) systems, to gray-water systems and more. Diagrams and clear explanations of technologies and their appropriate applications are provided alongside the case studies that explain just how the technologies work and how they may best be applied to each individual situation.

Good food for thought
This book offers a high level overview of some off the grid homes.
Without being overly detailed it provides some fine examples, and offers a blueprint upon which you can base your own off grid build.
