Ec02-458 Heating And Cooling Systems: Saving Energy And Keeping Safe (Home*A*Syst Fact Sheet 1), Shirley Niemeyer, Sharon Skipton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Your house should be a safe, comfortable place that is affordable and durable. How a home is constructed, insulated, and heated and cooled directly affects how well it meets these objectives. A house is affordable only when costs for heating and cooling are reasonable. Energy bills are lowest if a home is tightly air-sealed and properly insulated and if all mechanical systems are operating efficiently. Before extensively air-sealing your home, it is critical to ensure that doing so will not cause health or moisture problems by examining adequate air intake. Above, all else, your home must be a healthy place …

G95-1243 Ventilation Fans: Types And Sizes, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes the most common types of ventilation fans and compares their physical and performance characteristics.
Two general types of ventilation fans are commonly used for agricultural applications. Each type has many different blade diameters, materials, blade shapes, speeds, and motor horsepowers available. The desired airflow rate and the resistance to airflow through the ventilation system, or static pressure capabilities, are the two primary considerations when selecting a ventilation fan. Other considerations include maintenance requirements, noise levels, and energy efficiency.

Decisions you make about your kitchen depend upon your current and future needs, your lifestytle, your interests and the structural limitations of the house. A well-designed kitchen should be functional and aesthetically pleasing. It should harmonize with other areas of the house for a consistent appearance. The materials and furnishings you choose affect the appearance, character, and functionality of the kitchen. In addition, kitchen design can have a major impact on the energy system of the whole house.
This publication provides information to help you make those decisions as you build or remodel your kitchen.

Heg82-157 Weatherizing Your Home--Caulking, Kathleen Parrott
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses caulking the home to reduce air infiltration and increase energy efficiency. Where to caulk, types of caulking materials, and techniques for caulking are presented. Is your home an energy waster? Even in a well-insulated home, energy can be wasted through air infiltration. One-third to one- half of a typical fuel bill is the result of air infiltration. Air leaks around doors and windows, foundations, chimneys, exterior plumbing, or other parts of the structure. In the winter, air heated by your furnace is lost to the outside; in summer, hot outdoor air puts an extra load on your …
