2、ent Cut Your Energy Bills Now： 150 Smart Ways to Save Money Make Your Home More Comfortable & Green (see Figure 9）。 As an engineer and well-known energy expert， Harley knows his way around a blower door。 Equally important, he writes clearly and well, and doesnt try to do too much： at 122 pages long,

6、 how to get outside help when you need it： financial help, technical help， and contractor help。 This will help you plan ahead so you can get the maximum benefit from these steps and projects at a minimum of cost and effort.”The heads of the seven chapters that follow pretty much sum up the range of

A particular highlight of the “Heating and Cooling chapter is an excellent three-page section on doit-yourself duct sealing that Ha

11、ecedes the insulation chaptera welcome change from home energy books that extol the benefits of piling added insulation in the attic， but give little or no consideration to fixing air leaks。 As in the section on duct leaks, Harley honestly describes the potential size of the problem and the level of

12、 effort required to adequately address it. His introductory passage perfectly sets the tone for the detailed directions that follow， and will bring a rueful smile of recognition to many energy-conscious builders：”In most homes， the biggest and most costly leakswhich means the biggest opportunities f

Heres why: Sealing the living area of your house means keeping out air that comes in from any area of the home thats not heated or airconditioned。 In most homes， basements and attics are big, unheated spaces.

15、 can take several hours or several afternoons， but its well worth your time. And it should always be tackled before you cover things up by adding more insulation。”4SUMMARYIn the books opening sentence, Harley states that his “goal is to steer you toward value by focusing on steps that are low cost o

22、比作者自己是房主更了解的建筑技术水平的指南。没有人能对布鲁斯哈雷的有效降低能源法案投诉：150个聪明省钱的聪明让你的家更舒适和绿色（见图9）。作为一名工程师和知名能源专家,哈利知道他的方式，围绕鼓风机门.同样重要的是,他写的清楚顺畅,并不会尝试做太多：只达122页，丰富的拍照和插图的书是足够短的，其实可以像坐在动机房主和阅读覆盖整个事情，而不是在简单地翻转与压胶枪横行运行之前通过。2系统方法长期的经验来看，哈利开始描述系统的方法,通过他将引导读者.“在我们开始之前看项目本身,我们将谈论的房子一系列制度,并使用这些系统的方法能源，”他写道，“了解你的能源使用将帮助您创建一个策略,你的作品和将帮助

23、您把握机会,以减少每当你做其他工作时需要的费用或杠杆利益从而重塑你的房子。我将提供一个有关您家健康康和安全的对环境影响的概述。然后我会告诉你如何得到外界的帮助,若你需要它：经济上的帮助，技术帮助和承包商帮助。这将帮助您计划未来，这样你就可以从这些步骤和最低的成本以及精力的项目中获得最大的利益.“遵循大量总结住宅能源可能性的范围的七个章节之首：照明和插件；大家电；热水；加热和冷却；你的屋漏；绝缘和门窗。一个“加热和冷却特别突出的一章是一个很好的做自己动手管密封的三页一节，哈利用他一贯的常识的现实主义的方法：密封泄漏空气管道“可能是最重要的一件事情你可以改善你的房子节能性能。这可能是一个大项目，但

24、它往往不需要任何特殊技能,只是一个愿意面对一些困难点,以及变脏。”所附的照片传到乳香和玻璃纤维胶带密封泄漏的金属管的正确方法不会在暖通空调专业人员的技术手册的地方，但笔者永远不会忘记他的读者是谁。“只要确保你不密封的烟囱或炉烟道连接，这不是一个管道,”他警告说,“（炉烟道应严密和安全的，但如果你看到任何差距，有暖气承包商，解决这些问题，从来没有使用管乳香)。”3低成本，高价值在书中最长的一章发现和围护结构的泄漏密封处理;它也适当地联系到之前的绝缘章一个从家庭的能源书籍得知堆放在阁楼增加保温好处的可喜的变化，至于在管道泄漏部分,哈雷诚实描述潜在的问题，以充分满足所需的努力程度的大小。他的介绍通过

26、气泄漏。4小结在这本书的创新句子中，哈雷国声明他的目标是“以引导走向围绕低的成本或高效益的步骤；一些或者两个.” 他清楚地达到这一目标，即便有少数的疑问断言蠕变在这里和那里。他的一个关于发光管或管状天窗的论点也被称为一个TDD，或管状采光最终可能支付本身保存电力设备似乎不太可能有几个很好的理由来安装一个TDD,但减少照明费用可能是其中之一。作者还谈到赞许投资 6，000，一个太阳能生活热水加热器12,000元，注意，它“是不太昂贵，并提供一个比今天的时髦太阳能设备，太阳能光伏板，更快的投资回报。”在现实中,许多太阳能热系统回报极为缓慢。还有一个证据建议，光伏系统，结合净计量和一个热泵水加热器是

27、一个更符合成本效益比太阳能热选项（见“为什么太阳能热投资回收期的计算是棘手的大量和越来越多的身体”成人教育中心,2008年3月）。最后，也有一些建议,虽然技术上可行，不大可能如刷和真空下的冰箱制冷剂的线圈，至少每两个月一次的建议,许多读者，或者更多的时候,如果有宠物在家里。这可能是一个好主意，但它只是不会发生。总而言之,降低你的能源法案，现在提供了大量的降压轰隆。它涵盖的内容很多，房主应该知道，没有陷入复杂和房主潜在的混淆科目，如机械通气。如果我是运行利用效率计划，我找到一种方法来批量购买这本书，出售成本，或把它送人给客户，并认为这钱花得值.
