Home Cooling Energy Guide

by John Krigger

Air conditioning costs Americans about 10 billion dollars each year. The electricity it consumes is a leading source of air pollution. This 79-page, illustrated manual explores all the options for air circulation, ventilation, awnings, sun screens, window films, radiant barriers, insulation, reflective coatings, and shade trees to reduce cooling needs and costs. Your Home Cooling Energy Guide also explains also how to maintain air conditioners and evaporative coolers for maximum performance and efficiency.

The book has checklists, tables, a glossary, several informative appendices, and illustrations on almost every page.
