Energy Star
Trying to make my home greener.. what can I do next?
Ok.. I have CFL light bulbs throughout, a programable thermostat, low flow shower fixture and low flow faucet aerators. I added a screen door and ceiling fans so I can cut back some on the AC. Also all energy star appliances came with the place.
I like the changes I have made because they are not obvious and really don’t impact my daily routine. I am looking for other similar things I can do that are short of replacing the heating and AC system. Any suggestions?
You could -
- Add insulation to the roof if there isn’t any
- Put timers on your light switches so that they remind you if you have left a light on
- Use double glazing or tinting on your windows
- Install a water tank or use gray water (water from washing machine) for garden and car
Hope this helps
