Part One: A MORE
COMFORTABLE SPACE
VHS 30 min
A better inside than outsideProtective shelter barriers vs. openings
for ventilation The Fireplace& Chimney--Radiant Heat Fire in
a box--warming up to theStove Rooms and the rising and falling
.currents of Convection State of the art in Convectors
Thermodynamics--conducting heat with water & air The Radiator
Containing heat: the insulating characteristic of enclosed air spaces
Fiber insulation Vapor barriers Insulated openings Openings that
heat: Passive Solar design Heat Collectors: Water & air conducting
solar panels Photoelectric Solar Panels Heat from thin air: the
amazing reversible Heat Pump...Heat from the earth:

Part Two: BUILDING IN
THE AIRFLOW
VHS 30 min
Enclosed Air Quality How many cubicfeet? Airflow requirements
and space utilization Code standards for habitability Glazed Area
Flow in attics, foundations, crawl spaces Code: fireboxes, hearths,
chimneys, flue liners Banking on Central Heat Framing for
ductwork Design & duct runs for multiple levels Ducts between
joists Branch twists & turns vs air handling capacity
Understanding blowers and CFMs Exchange rates & Returns Free
& confined airflow resistance Duct sizes & joints Supporting and
joining duct runs Plenums Insulating ductwork Air filtration:
fiber & electrostatic filters Pollution, exterior & interior
Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Part Three: EFFICIENCIES:
BY ANY AVAILABLE MEANS
VHS 30 min
Hydronics--old & new The BTU andBTUH as standard measures
Energy sources and heat exchangers: wood vs coal vs oil Instant
and automatic fire: the oil burner and how it works Controls: the
heat-sensitive switch orThermostat Automatic heat and ventilation:
the forced-air system AddEvaporation for cooling Exaggerating
evaporation: pressure-controllingfluid/vapor states in closed coils,
or: Refrigerants Freon and heat exchange The Heat Pump in a
Central Air system Freon and the atmosphere Alternate means: the
return of Radiant Radiant electric, passive & active solar Remote
radiant: the Geothermal concept Lake, ground-water and buried
closed-loop systems
