About the book

See how a super energy-efficient, healthy building actually gets built—from the ground up.

The Super Energy-Efficient & Healthy Home Field Guide follows a real building through the decisions, construction stages, testing, mistakes, corrections, and measured performance behind it.

With 150+ field photographs and construction-stage images, you can follow the work visually—from site and foundation through the building envelope, thermal breaks, windows, roof, airtightness, mechanical systems, humidity control, testing, commissioning, and completed performance.

Written for homeowners, builders, remodelers, architects, drafts people, inspectors, tradespeople, and anyone who wants to understand how to build a super energy-efficient, healthy home or building without having to become a building scientist.

Follow the pictures. Follow the building. Learn what worked, what didn't, and what Brian would do differently today.
