		<description><![CDATA[Thermal mass on the interior of the building is able to store heat or cold, and then slowly release it back out to the surrounding air. Heat from a sunny winter day as well as the coolness of a summer night can be retained inside the insulated shell of the exterior walls if the building [...]

walls,
roof,
foundation,
floors,
doors,
and windows,

(the shell of the house), the slower the leakage rate of heat or cold from the inside of the house to the outside, and vice versa.  To be more specific, heat always flows from the higher temperature to the lower temperature &#8212; so we don&#8217;t say that the cold [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Passive solar technology is simply a set of techniques for using sunlight for useful energy without the use of any active mechanical systems.  These methods convert sunlight into usable heat (passive solar heating &#8212; hot water, warm air, and heat stored in thermal mass), cause air-movement for ventilation, and store heat for future use.  Passive [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We often think that modern societies were the first to use solar energy. Not true! Early cave dwellers preferred caves that had openings facing southeasterly that allowed the morning sun to warm them up without overheating in the warm months.  Native Americans in the Southwest oriented their pueblo dwellings.  So the low winter sun would [...]

The book&#8217;s title indicates that it&#8217;s about preparing for living after the electrical grid crashes. It&#8217;s not a manual [...]

		<description><![CDATA[If you need a gas fuel for your home appliances (like gas stove or absorption refrigerator) or home heating but are far away from gas distribution network, you should consider using one of popular liquid gases &#8212; propane or LPG. The latter &#8212; Liquefied Petroleum Gas &#8212; is a mixture of both propane and buthane. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In many places the most popular source of energy for cooking, heating and preparing domestic hot water is the natural gas. If you&#8217;re far from the nearest natural gas pipeline, you probably use propane or propane/butane mixture (also known as liquefied petroleum gas &#8212; LPG). But what to do if you don&#8217;t want to use [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In almost all modern homes the most energy is used to keep the room temperature on the desired level. It includes both heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. In some climates you need only one of those, in temperate climates you need both. For example, in Poland we have annual mean temperatures close [...]
