The Starter Bundle
Three books. One shows you how a house really works. One shows you how a house gets sick and how to keep it well. One shows you why it matters to the family who lives there 100 years from now.
1. Carbonless: An Introduction to Sustainable Building. Start here. How heat, air and water really move through a house, and how to build one that lasts. It hit #3 on Amazon's Energy Efficiency bestseller list.
2. THE BOX, Complete Edition. New construction, retrofit and remodeling in one book, with both checklists and 20 real job photos. Read it before you build, buy or fix a house.
3. Hammerdahl. A novel about a family 100 years from now, living in homes that were built right today.
Hardcover Starter Bundle: $109. All three books in hardcover.
Paperback Starter Bundle: $89. The Introduction and Hammerdahl in paperback, plus THE BOX in hardcover.
Please Know This Before You Buy
THE BOX only comes in hardcover. So you get THE BOX in hardcover in both bundles.
Each book is printed when you order it. It can take 3 to 5 business days to print before it ships. Your books may come in more than one box.
Shipping is added at checkout. You see the shipping cost before you pay.
Who the Starter Bundle Is For
Anybody who wants to learn how a healthy, energy-efficient home works before they spend money on one: homeowners, home buyers, builders, remodelers, designers and students.
The Introduction teaches how a house works. THE BOX shows you what goes wrong and the questions to ask. Hammerdahl shows you why getting it right matters.
