No New Posts Solution Products

Solution products are very specific, and in most cases they must be checked for their appropriateness in a given property. One solution may exclude several others, or on the other hand may have positive synergy with other solutions.
Example: heat pumps, either ground source (GSHP) or air source (ASHP) may work together very well with Solar PV, because they may be able to harvest energy (as in GSHP and pre-heating hot water).

No New Posts Core Products

Core products for our purpose are products for which there is NO contra-indication from an engineering standpoint.
This means that a core product does not preclude you from doing something else later, because there are zero interdependencies, positive or negative with other products.

No New Posts Economics and Engineering "Gotchas"

A collection of pitfalls that typically revolve around failing to take a holistic view of a property.
Magic can often happen if you combine an item with a 3 month payback with an item with a 7-year payback and now you create a solution that has a 4-year payback and is easily financable.

No New Posts Success Stories

Personal stories of successful retrofits by members of this board or even stories from outside this board if they are instructive to the members.
Note that some stories might be about feasibility, and others might be about economics. Our general interest always is economically worthwhile retrofits, but sometimes a demonstration of feasibility is worthwhile - just showing what can be done.
