Silver Bullets: ...and Other Energy Efficiency Myths and Magic! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983054853)

Trying to save energy? The good news is that plenty of companies out there are willing to sell you all the energy-saving widgets, gadgets, trinkets and thingamabobs you can wave a checkbook at. How do they work? (Who cares?) Do they work? (Who knows?) Are you wasting your money? (Maybe.) Confused by all the technobabble and pushy sales tactics? This book can help Join veteran energy consultant Andrew Vaillencourt on an irreverent journey through the most egregious myths, junk science, and bad sales practices of the energy efficiency industry. Along the way the most misapplied energy efficiency devices and strategies get disassembled to find out where they went wrong and how they can be fixed. You will learn some things you can do as a building or facility operator to make sure you are getting what you need. Best of all, the tricks of the salesman will be exposed and evaluated. This is not a textbook on energy. This light-hearted and minimally technical book takes ANYONE who has to worry about energy costs and turns them into a cynical, informed, and perhaps a little more smug consumer in the highly competitive and rapidly growing marketplace of energy efficiency products and services.
