I LIVE IN A DUPLEX. I AM DOWNSTAIRS AND SOMEONE IS UP. SHOULD I INSULATE BETWEEN FLOORS TO SAVE ON ENERGY ?
May 17th
My ceilings have been lowered so there is an empty space between the 1st and 2nd floor. should I blow insulation between the floors? My bills seem to be very high for the 1600 square feet that I occupy downstairs. I have even put in a new unit downstairs. Even though if I set my thermostat to 68 degrees and the temperature stays 68 degrees in the house, my unit is constantly on.

HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT BUILDING MY OWN HOME?
Apr 20th
I have been purchasing and reading books on natural building techniques over the past month, and it seems to be exactly what I would like to do in my lifetime. What locations in the U.S. would be most best for a home with the following utilizations and materials:
-Solar power (panels), heating (good sunshine, heat)
-Earthbag building for house
-Wind power
-Radiant heating in the floor
-Rainwater collection and storage (good rainfall)
-Composting toilet
-Quality soil for gardening and perhaps livestock/animals
Thank you in advance.

SHOULD YOU OVER VOLT A LED MR16 BULB LIKE A HALOGEN BULB…?
Feb 1st
I know a lot of people over volt 12v mr16 halogen bulbs to 14.4 to give them more white light rather than yellow, but what about a 12v mr16 LED bulb would you want to run that at 14.4 volts or could you get a clear bright white light out of it by running it at 12volts. Also same question about the Cree XLamp XR-E LED Bulb – 12V AC/DC, MR16 Base.
TO SAVE ENERGY, SHOULD YOU TURN A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER OFF WHEN YOU AREN’T HOME?
Jan 31st
I have central a/c in my home. I used to turn it off during the day when I am not home, but someone told me that it costs more money to cool down a hot home, then it does to let the a/c run all day. If that is true, what is the ideal temperature for energy efficiency and cooling?
