- One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy use at home is to ensure that your home is properly insulated.
- According to DOE’s Building America program data, typical, residential ductwork efficiency is about 67%. That means that if you install a 90% efficient furnace, your system efficiency would be just over 60%. Another way to look at this is that ducts lose 25–40% of the energy that moves through them. Just from a practical standpoint it makes sense to improve the delivery system. Shorter, straighter, better engineered and installed ductwork will improve delivery efficiency.
- Measuring glass surfaces using infrared (IR) thermometers helps ensure higher performance windows.
- There are many health factors to consider in usage and installation of electric systems. Here's an overview of them.
- Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings on glazing or glass control heat transfer through windows with insulated glazing. Windows manufactured with low-E coatings typically cost about 10%–15% more than regular windows, but they reduce energy loss by as much as 30%–50%.
- Perhaps the greatest challenge to promoting energy efficiency is that you can’t see it.
