A |
ATTIC: Ensure that the attic is properly insulated as heat can easily escape.
|
|
B |
BATHROOM: Install a high-efficiency showerhead, consider a
six-litre or dual-flush toilet and use faucet aerators for the sink.
|
|
C |
KITCHEN: ENERGYSTAR® appliances save significant costs in
the long-term. Use a lid when cooking on the stove to speed up the process.
|
|
D |
LIVING ROOM: Use energy efficient lighting and plug your
entertainment centre into a power bar so you can turn everything
off when not in use.
|
|
E |
BASEMENT: Only heat/cool the rooms that are in use and be sure
to turn off the lights when you leave the room.
|
|
F |
GARDEN: Trees on the south side of your home reduce cooling
costs by blocking the sun in the summer. Plant native species in
the garden that require less water and fertilizers and consider
installing a rain barrel to collect water for the grass and garden.
