Home Improvements for Conser
vation and Solar Energy is a
consumer's manual for those of us
looking for ways to keep our homes
warm in the winter without spend
ing exorbitant amounts for fuel. If
you are like most people, you know
there are steps to be taken to save
on your heating bill, but have no
idea where to start. Author Floyd
Hickok begins with the basics. He
explains how heat escapes from
your house through doors, windows
walls, and ceilings; also how cold
air from the outside infiltrates
through cracks.
For the more mathematically
inclined. Hickok presents the form
ulae engineers use to compute heat
loss, with a simple explanation of
each variable.
As it turns out, the best way for
most homeowners to save on their
heating bills is not to add solar
gadgetry, but simply to plug holes
and add insulation. This book
contains useful information about
materials to use and procedures to
follow. If, after you have taken
these initial steps, you still wish to
look into solar heating. Hickok
offers sound advice about where to
start and what to expect.
This book was written to help out
its reader, not to sell products.
Hickok is constantly asking the
question: is the return on this
improvement worth the invest
ment? He also points out. however,
that the returns are not all econom
ic. Many energy - conserving
improvements add extra comfort
and may even do a little to aid the
earth's ailing ecology.
In general, the book is simply
written, although the mathematical
portions get confusing. This is
literally a book that will pay for
itself. Order it for S6.80 from
