hmmm....
The article says he got half the $100K retrofit cost donated. Still, not bad...
Yer right I miss read that part. All materials were donated cutting the estimated 100K price in half.
Still who thinks any homeowner is going to spend even a third of that so they can save a couple of grand a year.
A guy i know in Missoula, Steve Loken, a builder, set out to build a house out of 100% recycled materials...recycled sheetrock, even. There was no way a person could have done it economically, but it proved a point, that it's possible.The guy in your article gets the irony of using oil-based foam to save heating oil. It'd be interesting to know the pay-back point on oil consumption of the retrofit over leaving it as-was, not just the monetary payback period.
