In the early 1980s, energy efficiency was becoming a growing concern for homeowners as energy costs rose and environmental awareness increased. Peter Hotton’s “So you want to build an energy-efficient addition” was a timely and practical guide for those looking to expand their living space while minimizing energy consumption. This well-preserved copy offers a glimpse into the energy-conscious mindset of the era, with Hotton’s expertise in civil engineering and sustainable design. Beyond the technical aspects, the book provides insights into the cultural shift towards eco-friendly living, reflecting the broader environmental movement of the time. For collectors interested in the history of sustainable architecture and the evolution of green building practices, this volume is a valuable addition to their library. Readers seeking practical advice on energy-efficient home renovations will also find Hotton’s straightforward approach and clear instructions a useful resource, even four decades later.
