		<description><![CDATA[Along with weatherstripping, caulking is one of two essential techniques for sealing air leaks in your home. It is ideal for sealing gaps that don&#8217;t open and shut &#8211; for instance, where your fireplace or an air vent is built into the wall. It works best where cracks or gaps are less than Â¼ inch [...]]]></description>

Many people believe certain things about home energy consumption that are just not true. These &#8220;Energy Myths&#8221; have often been inherited from one generation to the next. &#8220;Grandma always said&#8230;&#8221; is the typical preface to many [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following forms of insulation are less commonly used than fiberglass and cellulose, but this doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re less desirable. Most offer unique advantages over more traditional insulation, although they may have higher initial costs or other drawbacks as well. We urge you to consider them and make the decision that works best for your [...]]]></description>
