Resumen:
Well-organized and highly readable, The Consumer Guide to Home Energy Savings begins with an overview of the inter-relationships between energy use, economics and the environment. Chapters focus on specific areas in the home, such as electronics, lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, kitchen and laundry, and provide helpful explanations for each, including describing energy use characteristics, drawing comparisons between the available technologies, outlining the most cost-effective repair and replacement options, providing step-by-step guidance for finding the right equipment, describing how the equipment operates, and summarizing how much energy is used or lost. Included are tips on improving existing equipment, and guidance for when and why consumers should purchase new energy-efficient equipment, as well as a reminder to check local government and utility incentives for purchase or retrofit grants.
