Award-winning author and respected housing expert Anna DiSimone invites readers on a virtual tour of the home of the future — one that is healthier, more comfortable, energy efficient, and designed to reduce both expenses and environmental impact. Live in a Home that Pays You Back serves as a long-term reference guide filled with practical information, clear explanations, helpful infographics, and hundreds of additional resources.
The book provides homeowners with valuable guidance for both new construction and home retrofitting projects, including information about mortgage financing and how retrofit costs can be incorporated into a mortgage. Anna also explains the health benefits of energy-efficient homes and how sustainability improvements can positively impact a home’s true cost of ownership.
Readers will discover a wide range of renewable energy options and practical strategies through the book’s “whole-house efficiency blueprint.” For those planning to build a new home, the book explores topics such as zero energy ready homes, modular construction, manufactured homes, log and timber homes, and prefab home kits.
Live in a Home that Pays You Back also includes a comprehensive directory of rebates and incentives available across U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Readers can learn about utility company rebates, local financial incentives, solar and wind access rights, net metering laws, and other programs designed to support sustainable homeownership.
