How many buildings?

We have discussed the need for building to spend their fuel budget better, more comfortably and cheaper.  We are at the same time discussing reduction of the smoke up the stack.  If we reduce fuel use and increase comfort with a 10-30% reduction of smoke up the stack, major cities could have better air quality.  The price of oil would go down with less demand.

So why do we not do it.  The only answer I can think of, is the oil companies do not want to.  They do not want their political friends to talk about it. If the Politicians start talking about reducing the use of oil through conservation, the politicians do not get the contributions they need to stay in office. Now you can write this up into a book.  The truth is the truth.

What if government, oil  and gas companies, utilities, service contractors, boiler makers, all start telling you that they can save money and make you comfortable by simply putting a simple control on all heating devices.  That would be amazing.  And how many applications are there to make these efficient improvements.  Every occupied space in the country. Homes, buildings, schools, you name it.  There are at least 20,000,000 applications out there.  After you take care of giving comfort and efficiency to that 20,000,000 another 20,000,000 will come to mind.  So why are we not doing it??  Comment below and we will all learn a thing or two.
