Steve Stevens

Life Member @American Solar Energy Society

CO, US

As a fervent supporter of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy - Super-Insulation and Solar in particular- Steve is proud to be a Life Member of ASES. and to have presented papers at \"Solar 2011\" in Raleigh and at the 2012 combined ASES \"Solar 2012\" and the \"World Renewable Energy Forum\"(WREF) in Denver. Both papers dealt with the evolving conversion of Steve\'s 1970s home to be a NET POWER PLANT which powers itself while also powering the 2 plug in cars and the tropical food producing greenhouse. while still exporting large volumes (over KWH) of annual surplus solar energy to the grid.He says:\"I fervently believe that the EXISTING Housing Stock needs to be retrofitted in the extreme. to be \"net zero energy\" or better (carbon negative) if we are to avoid a climate catastrophe. with the drought, famine, and flooding which that implies. My role is to DEMONSTRATE POSSIBILITY, and potential. and to enthuse others to join in accepting and embracing personal responsibility for strong personal action in lifestyle conversion in three areas: 1) Dwelling Energy Production/Usage, 2) Transportation Energy Usage, 3) Food Production. All of these integrated into the residential environment. with the homestead optimized as a energy/food production platform, and also powering personal transportation.\"
