Energy Efficiency
Introduction
With all our energy requirements, there are ways of being wasteful or efficient. This page will set out some examples of how we can become more efficient in how we operate.
The Save Energy website
This is the place to find out exactly how badly your home is behaving and discover a wealth of information designed to help your home mend its disgraceful ways.
The site includes a house tour with clickable items inside. Information boxes explain how to save money on each item. This site is well worth a visit.
US Department of Energy
http://www.eren.doe.gov/consumerinfo/energy_savers/
A good site for information about energy saving tips, how much items cost, and ways of beating back the fuel bills.
"Electricity generated by fossil fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air than two average cars. By using a few inexpensive energy-efficient measures, you can reduce your energy bills by 10% to 50% and, at the same time, help reduce air pollution."
