Builder's Guide to Cold Climates

BUILDER’S GUIDE TO COLD CLIMATES

JOSEPH LSTIBUREK, Building Science Press, 2006

We asked the Green & Healthy Maine HOMES advisory panel to share what they’re reading these days, and which books have had a profound impact on how they approach their work.

Recommended by Richard Burbank (Evergreen Home Performance): The North American Cold Climate edition of the Builder’s Guide is augmented to provide the building industry with the latest and best practical information on how to apply building science principles to structures as systems in colder regions.

I’m a fan of Lstiburek’s books and website, Buildingscience.com. Some of his stuff is more accessible than others for the average homeowner, but it’s a good reputable source. His online website has more fun articles that can be humorously snarky.
