Are
you looking for creative ways to lower your energy costs, use renewable energy,
generate more of your own power, or become less reliant on the grid? Energy
expert Paul Scheckel offers practical advice for taking matters into your own
hands. Understand the fundamentals of solar, wind, water, and biofuel energy
production as you make your home ready for renewables. Each chapter of
Homeowner's Energy Handbook provides a comprehensive discussion of renewable
energy sources along with "green guides" for building your own
energy-saving -- and energy-producing -- equipment. Step-by-step instructions
show you how to build a bicycle-powered generator, a biodiesel processor, a
thermosiphon solar hot-water collector, a biogas generator, a smokeless
wood-gas camp stove, and more. Whether you want to button up your house to be
more energy-efficient, find deep energy savings, or take your home entirely off
the grid, this guide has the knowledge and skills you need to reduce your use,
then produce!
