A PROGRAM TO EVALUATE AND DEMONSTRATE CONSERVATION OF FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS

This report outlines a program which will demonstrate reduction in the United States fossil-fuel energy usage, particularly residential, shopping and commuting. Goals include combining more efficient energy use with low-energy structures to demonstrate that fuel consumption in single-family dwellings can be cut at least in half, reducing fuel consumption further, and where solar flux is adequate, replacing use of fossil fuels in the single-family home with high temperature solar energy and demonstrating a solar-powered, thermal-storage car for short trips.
