"Anyone with an interest in constructing a solar, energy-efficient home can learn the basics from this book, even with little prior technical knowledge or home building experience. The timing for this impressive resource couldn't be better."

Regina Johnson, Editor, Solar Today


"Good, clear, cost effective advice that is easy to apply, and the best guidelines I have seen for building a small house that still feels big and open. By putting special emphasis on climates requiring heating in the winter but also having to deal with hot and humid summetime weather, the authors provide really helpful information that is difficult to find elsewhere." Gary Reysa, Build It Solar (www.builditsolar.com)


"In The Simply Solar House, the husband-wife team of Richard and Yoko Crume brings to the world a new look at Green Building on a Budget. Richard and Yoko will help raise your awareness about the importance of energy efficiency and saving money. Based on extensive research and personal experience, the authors have creatively demonstrated that you do not have to spend a lot of money to build an energy efficient house. Energy efficiency is of critical importance in solving the climate change problem, especially as worldwide energy consumption continues to rise."

Professor Godfrey Arinze Uzochukwu, PhD
