Book Reviews of The Home Energy Diet: How to Save Money by Making Your House Energy-Smart (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

Book Review: Good info for technical types
Summary: 3 Stars

This book has a lot of good info for technical types. Lots of formulas and theory.

Also has maps showing heating and cooling days around the country (get a magnifying glass if you want to read them), pictures of various water-heating setups showing many pipes with little description, and the like.

If you want to know a lot about the theory and basic technology of energy efficient homes, this book is has a lot of info.

If you are an average person who wants straightforward suggestions on how to save energy and money in your home, I suggest checking out The Complete Guide to Reducing Energy Costs (Consumer Reports: You Need to Know).
