Energy Efficient Homes

Ed, need help to find eco home inspection in Detroit area

 

I tried to  "Ask ED",  but I got the email back saying the account didn't exist. I had an idea for my husband's boss, he liked the idea, but I can't find any eco home inspection companies in Michigan, let alone in the Detroit area.

HELP!

leaks in your home, Windows, Inflector fix

Windows have to be the biggest source of energy lose in a home. The R value of a windown is very low. Many are from R1 to R6 or more if they are new triple pane gas filled. A wall with insulation is R10 to R40 or more for a zero energy home.

New windows are very expensive and make a lot of mess and trash when you remove the old ones.  I have been trying to make mine better ?

Annualized Solar "self-heating" homes

Hi, all,

How many times, when your home is too hot in summer, have you wished you could "just bottle it up", for free heat next winter?

 I was trained in architecture and began exploring simple solar heating techniques in the 1960s, despite my profs' insistances that such efforts were irrelevant, because we'd all be getting free energy from the "friendly atom" by the next decade. 

Gov Funding for Going Green!

I came across this article on "This Old House" thought I should share it with everyone in case you don't already know about the HUGE incentives that are available:

Ready to take advantage of the federal government? You have until December 31. That's when Washington puts the kibosh on consumer tax credits of up to $500 for energy-saving products such as high-efficiency furnaces, water heaters, windows and insulation.

Solar Accent Lighting

Hey Everyone,

With a the number of solar lighting options on the market, just wanted to discuss the good and bad.

Which lighting units have you used on your own homes or landscapes? Experiences?

Zero Energy Homes

It would be great to see more efficient new homes. We have some of the fastest growing cities in the Chandler Gilbert Arizona area but I don't see many that are efficient let alone zero energy.

There are a few new companies with insulated material to build super efficient homes but the builders don't seem interested. They want to make fast cheaper homes with luxury upgrades they can make a fast buck on, not efficient homes that are less toxic.
