Overall
• Regulate energy loss by insulating your home’s walls with open-cell polyurethane
spray foam for 50% better insulation than traditional products.
• As current lights burn out, replace bulbs with CFL or LED for 75-80% energy
savings.
• Program your thermostat for while you’re asleep or away—by scaling back just 10-
15 degrees for 8 hours, you can save 5-15% per year on your heating bill!
Exterior
• Keep the garage well-sealed to reduce energy loss.
• Strategically plant shade trees to reduce sun exposure.
Bedroom
• Unplug device chargers when not in use.
• Make it a rule: turn off lights when leaving your room.
• Open the curtains for natural lighting, and use spot lighting for specific activities like reading and homework.
Bathroom
• Reduce your shower by 5 minutes to save 10-25 gallons of water!
• Repair leaky plumbing fixtures or replace with energy-saving ones.
• Install a certified ventilation fan to control damage-causing moisture.
Kitchen
• Install an ENERGY STAR qualified range hood ventilation fan, which uses 60% less energy on than standard models.
• Use your microwave to reheat or cook small portions only—or get rid of it all together.
• Run your dishwasher only with a full load.
Living Room
• Keep all vents clear of furniture to improve airflow.
• Ensure vent connections are well-sealed, filters are clean, and ducts are undamaged.
• Connect your entertainment system electronics to a power strip so that you can easily cut power to them when not in use.
Bonus: Open-cell spray foam is also a sound dampener!
