  • Lakeside Court: An energy efficient house: Energy efficiency in the upper Midwest. Editors: Revelle, Eleanor; Revelle, William; Galland, Ellen.
    The design and construction of a new house according to current environmentally thoughtful, sustainable, "green" practices offers many rewards but entails a variety of ironies, compromises, frustrations and practical problems as well. This website is intended to document the process involved and lessons learned in building this lakeside house in Evanston, Illinois. The owners, architect and builder hope to encourage and assist other owners, architects and builders with "green" intentions who are considering a project in this direction.
