More and more people are choosing to spend a few hundred dollars to hire a professional energy auditor<\/a> to conduct a thorough inspection of their home’s energy efficiency. Then, the auditor recommends steps for improvement, which will provide financial savings and possibly health benefits. <\/p>\n

Now with Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Audits: 140 Simple Solutions to Lower Energy Costs, Increase Your Home’s Efficiency, and Save the Environment<\/em><\/a> by David S. Findley, you can skip the expense of the energy audit from a pro and JUST DO IT. <\/p>\n

This latest book in McGraw-Hill’s Green Guru Guides offers complete details on assessing your home’s energy efficiency. It describes simple no- and low-cost measures that can be implemented to identify problems, and that will dramatically increase livability, efficiency, and expendable income each and every year. This book offers the practical tips and projects to make it easy to be green. <\/p>\n

“It does not matter if you live in a small apartment or a big mansion — this book is for you,” says David Findley. “The changes shown to you in this book will allow you to reduce your energy usage and increase your savings by at least, on average, 30 percent. My hope is to keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer and to help you design and live in the home of your dreams.” <\/p>\n
