Did you know that 25 per cent of an average home's energy loss can be addressed with simple, cost-effective solutions, resulting in significant savings for the homeowner? "How Your House Wastes Energy" will walk your students through these solutions, breaking them down into three key areas: energy-saving practices, methods for identifying and sealing hidden air leaks, and appliance and lighting efficiencies. From the free day-to-day activities (actively managing thermostats, reducing wasteful hot water use, adopting efficient cooking habits,) to nominal investments of time and money (sealing leaks, replacing standard incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps), this book collects these strategies into one, comprehensive resource. Best of all, the return on investment for these actions are typically over 100 per cent per year, making it a valuable guide your students will reference again and again.
