Passive solar homes and sustainable energy

Lon Simmons’s book brings together two strands: his account of building passive solar, earth-sheltered homes and his advocacy for a sustainable energy policy. The title identifies post-tensioned concrete as part of the housing approach explored. Its subject sits at the intersection of residential construction, solar energy, and Simmons’s practical efforts to develop alternative-energy homes. The book offers a focused look at one builder’s work and the broader energy-policy case he makes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in passive solar and earth-sheltered housing.
  • Readers exploring residential construction using post-tensioned concrete.
  • Readers interested in alternative energy and sustainable energy policy.
