Thoughts are definitely turning to energy savings as the evenings grow cooler and the sun sets even earlier. I am in the market for a new heating system, so I decided to surf and start my research. I was really excited to find the website A Consumer’s Guide to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy from the U.S. Department of Energy. The site covers everything from improving the performance of existing windows or replacing them to creating a zero energy house that produces more energy than it uses. You can click on a topic, learn more about it, and even delve into product resources. This site is a must-consult for anyone looking to increase efficiency and use energy more wisely—that means all of us!
