Competitions Win The Eco House Book By Terence Conran

'I have always been optimistic about the role design can play in improving the quality of people's lives. Today, more than ever before, good intelligent design and green design are one and the same.' - Terence Conran

Following on from the bestselling Essential House Book and Ultimate House Book, Eco House Book is the complete guide to home improvement the environmentally friendly way. Whether you want to redecorate or redesign your home, Terence Conran explains just how you can reduce your home’s carbon footprint with practical solutions that are both possible and pleasing.

The average household could save £340 and 1.5 tonnes of CO2 a year by being more energy efficient and in the current economic climate, it’s important to ensure the running costs of your home are as low as possible. What is more effective, a rooftop wind turbine or solar panels? What type of water-saving fixtures and fittings are available and how efficient are they? Eco House Book provides you with the information you need to make effective choices that will help cut your bills, your carbon footprint and water consumption and will directly improve your quality of life.

Environmental issues should be part of every decision you make – from selecting the fabric for soft furnishings to designing and siting a home extension. Most homes are not decorated, designed, constructed or serviced with eco-friendliness in mind. But you don’t have to start again from scratch to make a huge difference to the way your home impacts on the environment.
