I found this article on home energy efficiency in the Wall Street Journal to be very interesting. In short, while adding solar panels and tapping geothermal systems are great, you’re journey to a “greener” home needs to start with a caulk gun.
“Marketers, politicians and consumers like to imagine a world of solar panels, wind turbines and cars fueled by wood chips. But none of that gadgetry packs the here-and-now punch of a decades-old option: plugging leaky homes with a caulk gun.”
There are a lot of old homes in Buckhead, mine included, that could probably use some caulking. I might be dangerous with a “hot spot” seeking infrared ray gun, but I can crawl up into my attic and crawl space, with a caulk gun, to look for obvious problems.
