Practical energy savings, June 19, 2001
Reviewer: Daniel J Dravis from Eau Claire, WI United States
I found this book beneficial. I believe that people doing either new construction or remodelling will find it helpful. It covers new ideas as well some often overlooked but simple, inexpensive methods that should be used in all construction.

In particular, the first chapter is about energy efficiancy in general and performing an energy audit on your house to see where the energy is wasted or lost.

For the price of this book, even if you only used one idea from the book, you would more than pay for the book in energy savings in one heating/cooling season.

My reason for not giving 5 stars is, "There should even more ideas included in this book!"
