I was listening to Amory Lovins again today.
http://sic.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail3265.html It had been nearly two years since I first listened to it.
I enjoyed how he talks about integrative design and multiple uses for any one part. I've tried to keep that in mind since I first heard the lecture.
He mentioned his house loses .5c a day in winter. It was the first thing I thought of tonight when I realized the thermocouple was dead on my boiler and the temp was dropping about .5F an hour.
Someday I'll own a home that will perform on par with Amory.
