As an energy efficiency specialist Monroe is continually challenged by the process of bringing practical building science to individuals and organizations who do not normally deal with technical subjects. With this book, he has undertaken to provide a straightforward "translation" of energy efficiency technology into a common-sense conversation specifically aimed at church organizations. He considers his primary qualification for this task not to be his technical training, but his experience in performing energy diagnostics, certifications and testing in more than 7,000 churches, homes, commercial and institutional buildings.
