The book is written in non-technical language and specific instructions, lists of materials, safety considerations, and conservation tips are provided for energy conservation projects. Diagrams of materials, tools, and use of tools, are also provided to make the projects easier to understand and complete. A moveable calculator wheel which shows how much can be saved by taking energy conservation steps is included. (Author/JN) |
