August 4th 2010 20:11
Hello and welcome again. I am going to list some typical home improve ments that we will be taling about later.
1) Sealing air leaks and adding insulation.
We will be talking about where some of these leaks occur and what causes these air leaks.how much insulation is neede in the home.
2) Improving heating and cooling systems.
There are a few things you can look at and do yourself to help improve your system.
3)Sealing ductwork.
Knowing what to look for and how to fix is a big plus here.
4)Windows.
Look at the type of windows and explain the difference in the types.
5)Upgrading lighting and appliances and water heating system.
Knowimg what type you have and use can make a big difference.
6) Renewable energy systems.
take a look at the types and the pros and con.
These are the things we will be looking at in the next few posts.but before we do I would like for you to take some time and answer a few of the following questions and keep a copy of the answers. I will explain later.
What year was your house built?
Front door faces which direction?
Number of occupants?
Do you have central air and heat?
Take a look at a copy of your utility bills.
What type of appliances ?
Which part of the house has the most windows?
Keep a copy of these answers to refer back to latter. I will go through each question and explain why they are important.
In my next post we will be talking about some of the building science involved in home performance so you will understand what we are trying to do.
Happy conserving!!!!!!!
