I hope the following Links are useful for
those interested in Energy Efficiency (EE),
Conservation of our Resources, and a
more Sustainable economy.
|
|
|
|
The ENERGY
STAR HOMES Program has the
greatest potential for the market transformation that fits our Mission.
Most of my effort, and most of these links, focus on that potential.
The
HERS Rating industry is a key part of this Build Better effort.
As
3rd party appraisers, we can support the builder's claim of Energy
Efficient
homes.

This
list will grow and change as I find new web sites or have time to develop the
material.
I have a library of EE articles from years of reading and will
share issues as I develop this site.
The Papers on Energy Design
issues are written for projects here in Ohio.
They may not apply to other
regions of the country or to other climate zones.
Promoting the Rater as
the local energy expert, my efforts are focused on Ohio and the Midwest,
although I hope to see market transformation occur and the rating industry
prosper nationally.
