Hot climate "myth-tery" for summer reading

Does this summer's heat wave have you looking for something to read in the comfort of your air conditioned home? Consider an article by newspaper columnist Ken Sheinkopf in the Fort Wayne (Ind.) News-Sentinel. The article explodes 12 myths about home energy efficiency and hot climates. Sheinkopf credits the information to Danny Parker, a researcher at the Florida Solar Energy Center, who put together the "12 Great Myths of Improving Residential Efficiency in Hot Climates." FortWayne.com doesn't mention it but the FSEC Website says Sheinkopf is an Associate Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center. A vested interest in solar energy, perhaps, but interesting and educational nonetheless.
