Résumé:

Today's styles of earth shelters--not only homes, but commercial and utility buildings--are so new, builders, architects, and engineers are hungry for information. Author David Carter, design and construction consultant, delivers vital information about building these low-cost, energy-efficient structures. Leading both the owner-builder and the building professional through the maze of pre-planning--as necessary as the building itself--the author stresses that new kinds of building demand new kinds of thinking. The text examines the financing, planning, construction, and landscaping of a variety of designs of underground houses, office buildings, schools, factories, and other structures.
