Wrightsoft HVAC Design and Sales Tool Overview - 0 views

  •  
    Energy Codes, studies and energy efficiency experts all agree that a critical requirement to obtaining maximum performance and efficiency from heat and cooling systems is to correctly size the equipment and distribution systems. This is the design software I used in my previous career as an HVAC contractor. In my current career as a building code official, I require a design based on this or another approved software for all new mechanical systems.

BBC - Future - Science & Environment - LED bulbs: The end of the lightbulb as we know it? - 0 views

  •  
         In our business of sustainable construction energy retro-fits, we go after the the 'low-hanging fruit' first. Nine time out of ten, it's the lighting system of a building or home. Think beyond compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) to the longer lasting, more efficient and cost effective lighting method know as Light Emitting Diode bulbs.

Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency | Greenfield Community College - 0 views

  •  
    Here's another reason why I love where I live. We have a progressive community college that is leading the way in practical education in sustainability fields. My friend and neighbor credits this program with giving him the skills to design and build his house using highly energy efficient methods. He had no prior experience either, and now he is a solar hot water installer. Here's my friend's blog that details their entire process. (I may venture into this one year program at GCC after I finish at UMass) http://spartanandhannah.wordpress.com/

Welcome to MassSave - 0 views

  •  
    This is an organization in Massachusetts that helps homeowners and businesses lower their energy costs and consumption. We bought a hundred year old house a little over a year ago and had them do an energy audit. For a small fee, they performed various tests on our home's energy efficiency and made several retrofit solutions for no additional charge - new CFL bulbs throughout the house, low-flow aerators and shower head, and various draft sealing measures. As a result of the audit we were able to secure a 0% loan for a new high efficiency furnace and tankless hot water heater.
