Saving Energy and Money Making the most of your home and landscape.

How much do you think the average American family spends on home utility bills? In 2009, the average American family spent roughly $1900 on home utility bills. Did you know… Each year, the electricity produced by fossil fuels for a single home results in more carbon dioxide released into the air than that produced by two average cars.

A fresh coat of paint and new window treatments may add style to your home décor but did you know that they can also conserve energy and reduce your utility bills?

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Place furniture in areas that allow you to take advantage of daylighting.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Avoid placing TVs and lamps near thermostats.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: When repainting a room, consider a light color for walls. Lighter colors minimize the need for artificial lighting.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Use window treatments, such as curtains, blinds, shades, or interior shutters to allow warmth of sun in during winter and to keep heat out during summer.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Use extra blankets and throws during colder months to help keep you warmer without adjusting the thermostat.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Use area rugs on tile, wood, or laminate floors.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Install glass fireplace doors to reduce drafts and lost of heated or cooled air.

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Replace outdated faucets and shower fixtures with low-flow WaterSense faucets and shower fixtures.

What is the WaterSense Program? The WaterSense logo indicates a water- efficient product that is independently certified to perform as well as or better than standard models. Photo Credit: UK Environmental and Natural Resource Issues Task Force

Energy Saving Home Décor Tips Tip: Use a circulating fan, such as a ceiling fan, table fan, or floor fan.

Energy Saving Landscaping Tips Tip: Air temperatures can be decreased from shading and evapotranspiration of trees.

Energy Saving Landscaping Tips Tip: The size, density, and shape of a tree will determine where it is most beneficial for energy efficiency. Photo Credit : 2011 Jupiter Images Corporation

Energy Saving Landscaping Tips Tip: Dense trees and shrubs with low crowns planted to the north and northwest of your home block or impede wind providing a windbreak.

Energy Saving Landscaping Tips Tip: Trees, shrubs, and groundcover plants can be planted around your home to reduce heat radiation by shading ground and pavement areas.
