5 out of 5 stars Great 101 on insulation   September 21, 2008
Book number 1 in my library on insulation. If I only had one book that covered a lot of information in a concise manner this would be the one.


5 out of 5 stars important information clearly presented   September 19, 2008
I'm a general contractor doing energy efficient remodeling. I found this Taunton publication really valuable because it covers not only the basic techniques on insulation, including pricing guidelines, but also has an excellent of heating systems including PV and solar. Given the cost of energy today, this book helped me make good suggestions to my clients. The technology is changing rapidly, though, and the information here will have relatively short shelf-life.


5 out of 5 stars The most complete guide to insulating your house   August 30, 2008
This book was exactly what i was looking for! It tells you how to properly insulate and seal an existing house. Great illustrations, clear and easy to read. I read the whole thing the day i got it!

I found major air leaks right where it predicted and sealed them using methods suggested.

A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THEIR HOME'S INSULATION.



5 out of 5 stars Good coverage   March 10, 2008

This book gives credible (not just a repeat of info on manufacturer websites) coverage of insulation, air leakage, ventilation, moisture problems, etc. and handles each subject with respect to different climates. I learned a lot and it helped me make decisions in the renovation of a 60 year old house.
