The Home Energy Audit
The Easiest Way to Save Energy and Money.

By performing an easy to do it yourself, energy saving Home Energy Audit, your home can become one of the growing number of Energy Efficient Homes that you are hearing about.  Simple things like sealing cracks, changing to water saving shower heads (just had to change one of ours, and, though the old one was good,  it looks like this new one definitely will use less water, therefore, less hot water – saving us money), maybe turning down the thermostat, or even changing to a double setback programmable model, developing energy saving habits plus a whole collection of small, easy to implement things, will definitely save you energy and save you money.  And good energy conservation is good for all of us on this planet.

Dave Andersen has created an excellent kit of materials: an easy to follow book, PLUS quite a few Excel spreadsheets so you can record the information about YOUR home as you walk around your home scoping out the places where you can start saving more energy.  The really great thing about these spreadsheets is that you can save them over time and compare how you do when you first start home energy audits and after you have done them for several years.  This way, you can really see what you have done and how it is saving you energy and saving you money. And, of course, his book has many excellent suggestions about actions you can take to effect those money saving ideas.  Good Stuff!
