Where is the current version?

This edition was published in 2012…a decade ago! I loved reading it but where is the current version? Somewhat outdated, obviously, but still relevant reading.

Great foot-print shrinker ideas

This is the place to start for making an efficient and comfortable home. It contains all of the background information you need to understand and make decisions about home heating, cooling, and insulation. It is aimed at "normal" people but will also be of great interest to energy geeks.

Looks excellent. Skimmed a copy from DPL. Added to amazon wishlist.

A good conceptual overview, even if a little outdated. Don't expect to learn how to do anything though.
