Flat Plate Solar Collectors

The Goal of this blog is to bridge the gap between good ideas and the reality of implementing them into practical, cost effective applications in buildings.  My goal is to help those in the building and contracting business apply  Cost Effective, Common Sense, Energy Efficiency(CECSEE_Green).  My own experiences show often that what appears applicable in a book, in a thought, in an idea is not often the case when trying to incorporate the process into actual construction.  As we make buildings tighter and sustainable, new issues creep up that can be expensive mistakes and don’t work as indicated or projected.  This blog will report on what we find, what we learn, and hopefully help others avoid making serious mistakes.
