Very Easy to Understand

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2011

This is a great book. I'm somebody that feels overwhelmed when people use the jargon in this case construction jargon in putting a book together for someone that is going in clueless. This book does not do that. It's easy to read and very understandable. It's a great start to improving your home's energy use. I feel after reading this book that if I walk into a handy man shop I could easily start a conversation about insulation and what kind I'm looking for or buy a good water heater, etc... I really feel like this book has empowered me with enough knowledge to make some good decisions about my home... It's a great starter book... If you are a beginner like me this is the book for you. This book is like basic math when most books go straight into calculus... I don't know about you but I need the basic math understanding before I can hit calculus.... The authors did a wonderful job!!!

Good and easy read

This book is easy to read and has a few valuable information that will help me improve on home energy efficiency. Many of the tips discussed can be searched on the web but putting them all together in a book and easy to lend to someone made buying this book worth it. I would recommend this to a friend who will be building a new house soon.

Broad and Comprehensive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book goes into every imaginable detail of heating, cooling, lighting, landscaping, as they affect energy efficiency. If you are designing and building a home, this would be/is an outstanding book and a good purchase. On the other hand, if you just want to seal up your house and insulate it, I think "Weatherproofing" by Fox Chapel would be a better choice. I bought both and reviewed both, and I would recommend both. But this is the comprehensive one. I like both spectrums of comprehensiveness and focus/detail.

Very informative book! I have been following how to save energy since the 70's. Learn something new from each book I read. I am fixing up the basement and was wondering where to put a vapor barrier. This book tells where not to put a vapor barrier. I will refer back to this book often! This book covers everything about saving energy! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in energy savings!!!!

Not every idea is a good fit for every house, but one by one I evaluated every item in this book and implemented all the ones I liked. I just finished an energy audit with our power supply company, and I'm pleased to find our power consumption is about 30% below similar households.

This is an excellent book, but I was sent (and charged for) two copies. This made a 16 dollar book, a 32 dollar expenditure.
