Energy Pyramid

You've heard of the nutrition pyramid, here's the enegry pyramid. Its all about prioritizing the greening of your home and home habits.

We did an energy audit on our home this year, and while none of the reccomended changes have happened yet, the path is laid for our improvement of our 100 yr old home. I so highly reccomend the energy audit. Most homeowners of an old building are thinking of all the modern insulation they don't have - but when the auditor pointed an infrared camera at our walls, no temperature leakages were to be seen. Despite the lack of insulation, the lath and plaster, the diagonal one by six boards edge to edge, which make up our home, are darn heavy and solid!
An energy audit is the grooviest, I highly reccomend it!
