For Immediate Release
On the Cutting Edge of Green Building, One Good Book is Cheaper than a Mistake
OREGON, EUGENE, May. 9 -/E-Wire/-- The new 2001 Iris Catalog has arrived just in time to help designers, builders and do-it-yourselfers cope with the most recent energy crisis. The catalog features books, videos and software with practical, nuts-and-bolts information about construction and renewable energy systems.
"Construction projects can be expensive and mistakes can drive costs up even further," says Bruce Sullivan, President of Iris Communications, Inc. "A good book or video is much cheaper than a serious mistake."
The full scope of environmentally-friendly construction practices is covered in these titles from straw bale to earth, from energy conservation to passive solar, from remote homes to large commercial buildings, from interiors to landscaping, from health to sustainability. All these topics are covered in the more than 160 books, videos and computer programs.
The 2001 catalog features 20 new titles that delve deeply into the hot topics in today's growing green building industry, such as roof gardens, alternative materials, structural insulated panels, bamboo construction, good design for small houses, energy-efficient construction for hot climates, building-integrated photovoltaics (solar electricity), natural ventilation, rainwater collection, recycled materials and healthy buildings. Some titles focus on large commercial buildings while others target single family homes.
The material is selected for its accuracy and clarity. Plus, there are books in the Iris Catalog that are not available from mainstream booksellers. "Because we are involved in the green building industry, we come into contact with small publishers and individual experts that self-publish. Many times these books are on the cutting edge, because these authors are pushing the envelope with their own hands," says Sullivan.
The free, 24-page printed catalog is available by calling [REDACTED-PHONE]. Titles can also be purchased through Iris' web site called Oikos (www.oikos.com). The Oikos online bookstore offers much more information about each title than will fit in a small printed piece, including a detailed description and a complete table of contents for each book. Online orders can be placed with a credit card through a secure order form.
Iris Communications, Inc. is an independent bookseller that keeps all titles in stock. Orders are generally shipped in one business day. The Iris staff welcomes inquiries about the books and is eager to help you choose the most appropriate information resource. Any book may be returned within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price.
