*Big Description:

A retro-fit offers many benefits: cutting electricity and heating bills, increasing the resale value of homes, slashing carbon emissions and creating a healthier place to live. This book is your guide to making it happen.

Packed with detailed, highly practical information, it moves from the quick wins to the full make-over, blowing away popular misconceptions in the process to see what really does make a difference in terms of value for money and carbon saving.

It looks at:
• draught-proofing, insulation and damp
• ventilation, heating and cooling
• electrical efficiency and renewable energy
• water use and re-use
• materials' life cycles and incorporating nature
• protection from climate change impacts
• modelling energy flows and embodied energy
• how we can meet the need to cut carbon emissions from dwellings by 80% by 2050.

Projects can apply to apartment blocks, recent builds and older, solid-walled properties.

Enlivened with helpful diagrams and photographs, plus plenty of pointers for further information, it provides a comprehensive resource handbook for any building professional and contractor, students—or any homeowner serious about efficiency (cash and carbon) savings.
