ACEEE has partner organizations and publications that have in the past made bulk purchases in order to expand the book's reach, including Consumer Guide magazine. The Consumer Guide, first published in 1990, has sold over 200,000 copies. The accepted resource on the topic, this tenth edition comes at a heightened time of energy-consciousness. Thoroughly updated sections on lighting options, given recent advances in the technology. It includes effective guidance tools for consumer decision making, including: Step-by-step guides for finding and purchasing the right equipment; updated information about government incentives and programs to encourage the use of energy-efficient appliances; and tying energy-efficiency to sustainability — Information on how to reduce your carbon footprint and other tips. It also includes energy use characteristics, comparisons of available technologies, and the most cost-effective repair and replacement options for each end use in the home. Separate chapters deal with heating, cooling and ventilation. Utility companies are expected to buy into the book in quantity to give to their customers, as they have with past editions.
