I love lurking around EcoModder.com<\/a>. It is all about how people modify their cars to increase their miles per gallon. They make cars more aerodynamic, they change how their cruise control works, they even invent cool truck caps. <\/p>\n

But should it stop there?<\/p>\n

What about EcoModder.com for homes? Imagine if you will a website focusing on how people planted deciduous trees on the south side of their house for summer shade and to allow winter sun to come through. Or how they added awnings for summer shade. Or how they put in new insulation. Or how lowering the thermostat and wearing a sweater in the winter really reduced their utility-provided kilowatts per square foot or even just kilowatts per month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think uKSF should be right up there with MPG as a measure of cool economy.<\/p>\n

Sure it takes a while to find out what your uKSF is, but I am sure that these same techno-wizzes can solve that as well. I think the future of car design is at EcoModder.com, and I would like them to tackle homes as well.<\/p>\n
