Energy Conservation in Housing

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN HOUSING
A Collection of Data on Energy-Efficient Housing Approaches
by David L. Meinert

This is a 160 page book, available in PDF format, in one of the below topics.

The book was originally published in 1990 and 1992. 

I revised the electronic format of the book in 2003.
The original paper version of the book has been out of print since 1996.

This book demonstrates in layman’s terms the principles of energy- efficient 

housing so that you can get the most for your energy dollar
by designing and constructing a house using these principles or
modifying your current home.

NOTE:  In the below topics, some use the Google “blog” format, which does NOT display 

any of the drawings / graphics necessary to understand a lot of the information.

Instead, I have the complete PDF document of the book as an attachment to one of the topics. 

See the topic, “Energy Conservation in Housing (attached PDF copy of the book)”
 Additional narratives are available on this site. 

Narratives with attached PDF documents (which include diagrams) are the following.

  • Attic Insulation Project (description and summary)
  • Retrofitting Basement Floor Insulation
  • A Homemade Heat Recovery Ventilator
  • Links to view Videos on 2 insulation projects

I have included photos from my past insulation projects in the topics, below.

In 2014, I found a web-site that allows me to post videos (Vimeo.com).

I posted 3 videos.  (Expect to have to copy and paste the below "links" to a new tab on your browser, to view the videos)

2006 Attic Insulation video (6 minutes) https://vimeo.com/100637035,

2005 Garage Insulation video (3 minutes) https://vimeo.com/100636992, and a

2014 Window Retrofit installation video (15 minutes) https://vimeo.com/100636733, which involved 

me having to "fix" the insulation problems caused by the installers of the window.

I have a four other sites that might be of interest to some people.
