Comments on: Energy Efficiency Off Grid: Stay Accountable and Diligent http://www.livingoffgrid.org/energy-efficiency-off-grid-stay-accountable-and-diligent/ Info for Off Grid Homes Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:44:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ria http://www.livingoffgrid.org/energy-efficiency-off-grid-stay-accountable-and-diligent/comment-page-1/#comment-15442 Ria Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:24:46 +0000 http://www.livingoffgrid.org/?p=607#comment-15442 Living off grid just takes simple tricks. Like for example, in conserving energy, you might consider getting a window film. But you might ask what film fits my lifestyle and budget? For 15%-25% of the cost of window replacement, every home can reduce solar heat gain on existing dual pane windows (which are already good for winter). Of course, if you have single pane windows you need to replace those. You can find out more about window film at Tintbuyer.com, like most window films are for reducing solar heat gain in the summer, low-e films both block summer heat and improve winter heat retention. Be informed about the unbiased facts on the types window films that are available in the market that suit your needs. I think having the “right window tint” is not only practical but also eco-friendly. Living off grid just takes simple tricks.

We've used the Kill-a-watt...and then promptly forgotten how much power each thing drew. Not very helpful. :-) Pedal power is next on the agenda!
