Book excerpt: A large portion of the energy for which the typical U.S. family pays is wasted, such as through poorly insulated windows & doors. By using a few inexpensive energy-efficient measures, you can reduce your energy bills by 10% to 50%, & at the same time, help reduce air pollution. The key is a whole-house energy efficiency plan. View your home as an energy system with interdependent parts. You may have a top-of-the-line, energy-efficient furnace, but if the ducts leak & are un-insulated, & your walls, attic, windows, & doors are un-insulated, your energy bills will remain high. Covers: insulation & weatherization; heating & cooling; water heating; windows; landscaping; lighting; appliances. Illustrations.
