Carbonless

Carbonless: An Introduction to Sustainable Building takes a practical look at how homes and buildings can be designed, built, remodeled, and operated to use less energy, create healthier indoor environments, and last longer.

Brian Iverson brings more than 50 years of experience in construction, remodeling, design, energy auditing, development, real estate, and building performance into one straightforward guide.

This book looks at the entire building as a connected system. Land. Foundation. Walls. Roof. Windows. Insulation. Air movement. Moisture. Heating and cooling. Indoor air quality. Durability. Energy use.

It is written for homeowners, builders, remodelers, tradespeople, designers, inspectors, real estate professionals, and anyone who wants to better understand how buildings actually perform.

You do not have to become a building scientist.

You need to understand the building well enough to ask better questions, make better decisions, and recognize problems before they become expensive.

Affordable Housing matters. Affordable Living matters more.
