Dear Philosophical and Wordy CoHousers- As penance for my post about the closing circle and Burning Souls, my task-oriented side offers the following resources. I don't know if they are still available, or have been updated. (Try a nearby engineering library if they aren't still in publication): Space Conditioning: The Next Frontier. Subtitled: The potential of advanced residential space conditioning technologies for reducing pollution and saving consumers money. From EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, April 1993. EPA 430-R-93-004. Check with your local library on how to order government books like this. This is an almost 300 p. report comparing various heating and cooling technologies, including electric resistance furnaces with central air (CA), electric air source heat pumps of various types, electric ground source heat pumps with various ground loop configurations, oil furnaces, gas furnaces, and gas-fired air source heat pumps. *Extremely* thorough analysis of performance and cost of each, including comparison in 5 different climate zones across the country. Daylighting Classroom Buildings, from the North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation (1991). This 185 p. book does not include ordering information--an odd oversight. Here is the NC AEC's phone number and address: PO Box 12699, RTP, NC 27709-2699. (919)361-8000. If you run into any trouble, ask for Arnie Katz, a friend of mine who works there. Although the title of this one might make it sound to be of narrow interest, it actually offers very practical information about different means of achieving daylighting, with many of these being broadly applicable. I believe that both of these books were free when I got them about a year ago. Not sure what the shipping and handling would run, but these are jam-packed with practical info. and IMHO worth any reasonable cost to those dealing with such matters. (Sorry I don't have any further information on how to order them.) With warm thoughts of y'all on a cool night in NC, Sherri Eno Commons CoHousing, Durham * Where the members have reached enthusiastic consensus * on a new site plan,and our neighbors-to-be have just approved * a petition to have the city build the water line we need.
