<br/><br/> This book illustrates a systems approach to design and construction in which various components such as passive solar techniques, earth air conditioning, vapor-permeable ceilings, and cellulose insulation operate synergistically to achieve environmental goals.  The case study of Casa de Paja (House of Straw) demonstrates that many elments of sustainable architecture can be incorported without sacrificing sophisticated design and without added expense.
