8 easy ways to save energy in your(finished)
This document provides 8 tips for saving energy in the home during winter without expensive upgrades. The tips include: running full loads of laundry and dishes on cold water; opening blinds during the day to let sunlight warm the home; turning off electronics and appliances when not in use; taking shorter showers with efficient showerheads; using programmable thermostats and changing furnace filters regularly; and adding rugs and weatherstripping around doors.
12 Simple Ways To Save Energy At Home
Your home is the largest investment of your life. Apart from buying a house, you have to maintain the house which involves cost on a regular basis.
Besides the initial cost, a home is a series of operating systems that use energy and by taking care of those systems in a proper manner you can save much of the cost. Your cost gets multiplied if the systems aren’t efficient, or if your home is over 10 years old, then perhaps you should think of updating those systems. New generations of Energy Star appliances, heating and air/systems, and environmentally friendly insulation can bring your cost down to a great extent.
Most of the energy savings can be initiated with simple upgradation of appliances. The initial cost of upgrading may be on the high side but you can save a lot once you own an energy efficient home.
Energy Efficiency
The document provides 10 tips for saving energy around the house, including shutting off lights and electronics when not in use, lowering the thermostat in winter, not leaving the refrigerator door open, replacing old light bulbs with LED bulbs, using cold water for laundry, turning off dripping faucets, taking short showers instead of baths, closing curtains in summer and opening them in winter, weatherizing windows with plastic sheeting, and planting trees for shade.
Use these tactics to help go green and save on electricity
The document provides tips for saving on electric bills through more intentional use of electricity and appliances in the home. It recommends being deliberate about turning off lights and electronics when not in use. It also suggests purchasing more energy efficient bulbs and a power monitor. For appliances like washing machines and air conditioners, it advises only running full loads and maintaining optimal temperature settings. Consistently applying these small changes can significantly reduce electric costs while conserving energy overall.
Chane
Replacing five incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescents can cut 275 pounds of CO2 emissions per year. Taking the train instead of flights under 500 miles can bypass 310 pounds of CO2. Shortening showers from eight to five minutes saves 513 pounds of CO2 annually, and weatherizing homes through caulking and insulation prevents hundreds of additional pounds of CO2 depending on the type of heating. Using fans instead of air conditioning as much as possible and replacing old refrigerators with Energy Star models also significantly reduces household CO2 emissions.

Jerry Loch of Cornell Cooperative Extension led a workshop on saving energy and money at home. The workshop aimed to identify households' biggest energy uses, discuss actions to reduce energy and costs, and dispel myths. Heating a home is typically the highest energy cost, with space heating, insulation, and air leakage as key areas to target. Recommendations included setting back thermostats, installing programmable thermostats, checking insulation, sealing air leaks, installing efficient appliances and lighting, and taking other low-cost actions to conserve energy. Attendees were encouraged to choose 3-5 actions to implement for lower utility bills.
