From the Preface This book is, technically, the first "green" edition of How to Plan, Contract, and Build Your Own Home. However, it's presented as simply the fifth edition. Why? Because in the near future - nearer than you might think, but probably not within the life expectancy of the edition you are holding right now - "greenness" marketing factors in construction books will become passe, outdated, redundant, assumed, expected and unnecessary. It's becoming plain to practically everyone that if a company doesn't already align itself with green building design, principles of sustainability, energy savings and waste reduction, its service or products will be bumped aside by others that do. Today, greenness is everywhere: on television and radio and in magazines, trade journals, books and newspapers. It's in curricula from grade schools to graduate schools in small to large universities. It's literally permeating politics, rewriting municipal permit procedures and regulations. It's attracting a great deal of interest and money from all angles. There are high hopes of creating green jobs that by their very nature are difficult to outsource. But is green building for your home construction project and if so, at what level? What level of greenness is for you? The government, with its great resources (really our resources, recycled), sometimes seemingly unlimited, can afford to pay a premium for technologies that, once paid for, can supply alternative energy for a relatively low cost - as long as the developmental and capital expenses are not factored in. But your pockets may not be as deep. Fortunately, there are many green design elements that can be included at minimal or reasonable cost. Passive-solar elements, for instance, or highly efficient heating and cooling systems, effective insulating materials and many new construction techniques do not require excessive expenditures. Then there's the question of when to go green. Do you wait for additional technological advances, perhaps for some revolutionary wind or solar or biomass fuel invention that creates affordability for all? When any new technology comes out, the same question is asked: Buy brand new technology at expensive prices? Or wait until new and improved models become so available and inexpensive that almost anyone can afford them? Look at cell phones. When they first came out, you practically needed packpack straps to carry them; they were extremely costly and bulky but they could make phone calls. Now what self-respecting 13-year-old would be without his or her own cell phone - happily texting away, taking digital photos, playing video games, listening to music, all while downloading stuff from the Internet? Plus it fits in a shirt pocket. With green homes, you needn't wait any longer. They're available now and they're affordable. About the Authors Richard M Scutella has written several books on new construction, home buying, home maintenance and safety, including Homebuyer's Checklist 2nd Edition (Tab Books; 1993) and the first four editions of this book. He has designed and supervised the construction of many new homes. Dave Heberle is the author of McGraw-Hill's Construction Safety Manual and the co-author of the first four editions of this book. A former environmental and safety consultant, he currently manages investment real estate. Table of Contents Preface. Part 1: The Green Home. Chapter 1: The Green Movement.
