Description

In case you are looking at this book, you probably already have off-grid aspirations. So how are you able to solidify those abstract ideas into concrete form? In How to Build the Perfect Off-Grid Home, Roxyanne Spanfelner, who built a remote off-grid home four years ago, offers practical advice to navigate the ceaselessly complex and perplexing process.

Before you dismiss this book because you think it is only for many who wish (and can come up with the money for) to build a new home from scratch with the entire newest technology, please don’t be misled. Even as it does deliver a detailed, ground-up, start-to-finish guide for the new generation of off-gridders, it has something for everyone. In case you are not somewhat ready to cut the power cords, you’ll be able to find a vast range of highly energy-efficient options to make retrofitting your existing home easier and more affordable. Inside these pages, you’ll be able to find out how to:

  • Determine whether it is better for you to go gridless or modify your energy grid-based system
  • Design a floor plan utilizing the best passive and active energy options
  • Find the right contractors to oversee your project
  • Select the right building materials, appliances, and lighting to maximize energy savings
  • Assess the pros and cons of wind and energy alternative-power systems
  • Create and operate your own “private utility company” for power generation, water collection, and waste disposal
  • Set up a reliable and affordable maintenance schedule

Spanfelner explains why building off grid was the right choice for her family, as it has been for about a million others across The united states. Maybe it is for you too. This book shows you how to declare your independence from the utility companies, reduce your carbon footprint, and reap the financial and psychological rewards of a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
