Design High-Performance Homes That Are Durable, Healthy, and Comfortable

Part of the Sustainable Building Essentials series, Essential Building Science teaches you how to manage energy and moisture in residential construction to create homes that last longer, perform better, and feel more comfortable. This highly visual guide makes complex building physics accessible, giving you the tools to design, build, or improve high-performance houses with confidence.

What You'll Learn

Understand Heat and Moisture Dynamics: Learn the fundamentals of thermal dynamics, moisture transfer, vapor drive, and condensation.

Design for High Performance: Discover the rationale behind energy-efficient, durable, and healthy building design.

Think like a Building Scientist: Develop critical thinking skills to evaluate buildings as complete systems and create effective thermal and moisture strategies.

Apply Real-world Solutions: Case studies and examples from across North American climates show how to solve real building problems.

Improve Old and New Buildings: Gain insights and tools for dramatically enhancing the performance of existing structures or creating better new builds.

Written by Jacob Deva Racusin, a sustainable building designer, educator, and co-owner of New Frameworks Natural Design/Build, this guide draws on decades of experience in mechanical, water, energy, and enclosure system design. Jacob is a Building Performance Institute-certified Envelope Professional and Building Analyst, program director of the Building Science and Net Zero Design Certificate Program at Yestermorrow Design/Build School, and co-author of The Natural Building Companion.

Transform the way you design and build homes with practical, science-based strategies that make buildings healthier, more efficient, and resilient. With clear visuals, actionable insights, and step-by-step thinking frameworks, Essential Building Science gives builders, designers, and DIYers the confidence to achieve high-performance results.
