Energy efficiency for homes

Saving energy should be a goal for all home owners, businesses and governments. Not only to save money, but to reduce the ongoing damage to our planet in some way. This doesn't always mean an expensive retrofit of the home, or replacement of major equipment and appliances. Although newer energy star rated items, such as furnaces, AC's, refrigeration and cooking equipment are far more energy efficient today, than most over 10 years and worth considering for replacement in the near future.

One very useful publication I really like is "Keeping the heat in", provided by the Office of Energy Efficiency- Natural Resources Canada.  Below is a link to their website, where you can read the book.
