Compilation of the entire world's knowledge and technology for new self-sufficient home designs. Organized as a reference work covering virtually all related technologies such as solar, photovoltaic, wind, greenhouses, and more. Includes a plan for constructing a family of four completely self-sufficient home designed to provide both food and power and can be located anywhere.
Reduced house plans are included and are aimed at the lowest energy input to construct, operate, and maintain. Non-polluting and recycling technology has been evaluated and incorporated into the water and waste system design.
A goal of this complete self-sufficient home design was to maintain many of the comforts and conveniences of the lifestyle we enjoy today while providing the ability to be independent in food, water, and power.
