Danny Lipford’s video on energy efficiency is excellent. He provides a quick and simple list of practical solutions that can be performed by the average homeowner.
He starts by providing tips on “sealing the envelope” around the house (after all your house is an environment of sorts … fellow mechanical engineers most likely have at some time mentally drawn a ‘control volume’ or ‘control mass’ of their home from time to time… in fact, you are probably doing that now)… sorry, i digressed just a tad.
Well, anyways he begins with great tips including caulking air gaps around the exterior of the home and adding weather stripping to doors and windows.
Another awesome energy-saving tip he discusses is adding a gasket that fits inside the electrical outlets and switch covers along the outside walls of the house. Cheap and effective.
Danny also spends some time talking about inuslation. He shows different ways of using insulation to protect your attic space and hot water heater from energy leaks.
And, of course, one of the smartest tips is to use a compact fluorescent bulb, which uses about 75% less energy than the incandescent bulbs.
