The Energy Efficient Rehab Advisor is a site designed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which sets up guidelines for conducting energy-efficient housing rehabilitation. Simply select the type of house you're remodelling, what your role is in the project (e.g., homeowner or contractor), your climate, and the building's age and the advisor presents information for all types of renovation work--from roofing to finishing a basement. The info is succint and easy to absorb--an excellent starting point for newbie homeowners and do-it-yourself types. This isn't the place for pros looking for LEED-certification, but it's a good source for basics on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and water conservation. ::Energy Efficient Rehab Advisor [by MO]
