Summary
"Wilson brings his twenty-five years of construction experience and hands-on knowledge of home building to help you make your current home cleaner, greener, more comfortable, and healthier through a Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) ... a 'whole-home makeover'--one that represents a significant investment, but that saves you money from the get-go by capturing the energy you 'drop on the ground' every day through inefficiency, poor design, or simply living in a typical older home. Using his own family's retrofit of their 1942 home as a prime example, Wilson weaves a readable narrative at a practical, hammer-and-nail level, presenting how-to, energy-saving techniques that average homeowners and small contractors can adopt."--Page [4] of cover
