Reducing Carbon Footprint Homeowners By: Gina DiJohn

Carbon Footprint Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by human activities. It is measured in units of carbon dioxide Contributions to carbon footprint: Car emissions Public transportation Electricity Heating your house Cooling your house Eating & drinking Clothes & personal items Recreational activities Homeowners can save money by just using energy efficient appliances

Energy Efficient Appliances Heating is the largest energy expanse in the home using accounting for 35 to 50 percent of your bill. You can save money on your heating bill by making sure heating ducks are sealed. Designing new homes or additions using passive solar design strategies can reduce heating costs and increase comfort. Options: Hydronic Heating with Solar & Boiler Air-source & ground- source heating pumps Masonry fireplace

Energy Efficient Appliances Horizontal axis washers consume 1/3 less hot water. Reduces water consumption from 40 to 24 gallons per load and save as much as 7,000 gallons of water per year. Washers on the market today can cut your energy use by as much as 70 percent. They can save you more than $850 in water and detergent over the life of the machine

Energy Efficient Appliances Energy star refrigerators consume 10 to 50 percent less energy Refrigerator will save you an additional 15 percent or more by employing better insulation, more efficient compressors and more precise temperature control and defrost mechanisms. How to Save with Energy Appliance Rebates | Energy Star Efficient Appliances - YouTube

Energy Efficient Appliances Fluorescent light bulbs use 75 percent less energy than a ordinary light bulb By just changing your light bulbs you can save about $6 a year in electricity costs and can save more than $40 over its lifetime

Energy Efficient Appliances Dishwashers energy-efficient motors and use sensors to determine the length of the wash cycle and the water temperature needed to do the job. The newest Energy Star dishwashers are 25 percent more efficient than the minimum federal standards. Replacing a pre-1994 dishwasher with an Energy Star model can save $25 a year on utility costs. Choose a dishwasher with a "light wash" or "energy-saving" wash cycle. It uses less water and operates for a shorter period of time for dishes that are just slightly soiled. Look for dishwashers that have an energy-saving cycle that allows dishes to be air- dried with circulation fans, rather than heat-dried with energy-wasting heating coils.
