There is also guidance on how to generate energy, upgrading old buildings, and site planning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith beautifully hand-drawn illustrations, Christopher explores how to use local topography, combined with landscaping, to improve your home''s microclimate and keep your house dry and warm in the winter, and cool in the summer.
