Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

This is the last of our posts for the month of January, when we are focusing on energy conservation related matters, especially the ecoENERGY Grant program and the Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report received from the first of the two ‘energy’ audits.這是最後一次我們的職位， 1月份，當我們著眼於節約能源的相關事宜，特別是ecoenergy助學計劃和能源效率的評估報告，收到的第一兩個'能源'的審計。

We’ve reviewed, discussed and displayed the primary portions of the report.我們已審查，討論和展示的主要部分，該報告。 Now what?現在該怎麼做？ What are we going to do as a result of the report.什麼是我們怎樣做，由於該報告。

Well, here are our plans based on the contents of the report:好，這裡是我們計劃的基礎上，報告的內容：

1. Replace most, but not all of the 36 windows with ENERGY STAR rated windows.取代大部分，但不是所有的Windows 36與能源之星評價的Windows 。 We just cannot afford to do all of them.我們只是不能做所有這些。 As it is we are going to replace 28 of them at a cost of……gulp $17,000!!!因為這是我們要取代28日，他們在成本… … gulp一點七零萬美元！ And, that is after a 20% discount for doing it in the winter.和，即是在經過了20 ％的折扣的做法在冬季。 Somehow the available grant money under the program does not seem enough incentive.在某種程度上可用的補助金根據該計劃似乎沒有足夠的誘因。
2. We are going to replace the front door.我們要取代的前門。 We know it was not mentioned in the report but we can feel the draft.我們知道，這是報告中沒有提到，但我們可以感受到草案。
3. We are going to work on reducing the air leakage beyond the windows and front door我們要工作，對降低漏風超越Windows和前門
4. We are going to further investigate not only the tank-less water heaters but especially the Drain Water Heat Recovery (DWHR)  device which we knew nothing about before examining the report.我們要進一步調查，不僅坦克-少熱水器，但特別是流失的水熱回收（ dwhr ）裝置，我們一無所知，在審查報告。
5. We will consider installing a timer on the en suite bathroom fan (sure wish I knew more about electrical stuff, but I don’t and I hate calling in an electrician for what should be such a simply thing).我們會考慮安裝一個計時器上的EN套房的浴室範（肯定希望我能知道更多關於電氣的東西，但我不和，我恨，要求在電工是什麼，應該是這樣一個簡單的事情） 。
6. We’ll see about rearranging the power bars for our entertainment center in the family room and my home office to be able to turn off all of those devices when not in use.我們將看到關於重新安排的權力，酒吧為我們的娛樂中心，在家庭中室和我的家庭辦公室，以便能夠關掉所有的這些設備在不使用的時候。
7. We will investigate further the solar wall system to supplement our heating in the winter.我們將進一步調查太陽牆系統，以補充我們的暖氣在冬季。 We’ve seen estimates of between $2,00 and $5,000 for these system.我們已經看到的估計美元之間， 2,00和5000元，為這些制度。 We do not understand why there is no grant money available for this even though it looks like a real saving on the heating bill.我們不明白為什麼沒有補助金，供，這即使它看起來像一個真正的節省上加熱條例草案。

There, I think that’s it.因此，我認為的。
