EBook Excerpt: Week 1 - Conducting a Home Audit
Steve Stillwater on
Here is the next in our weekly series of excerpts from the EBook, “6 Weeks to a Greener Lifestyle.” See the note at the end of this post for more information. — Paula
For the first week, we will tackle the biggest energy consumer in most people's lives - their home. As noted in the previous chapter, it is such things as heating and cooling, water heating, lighting, electronics, appliances, and refrigeration that gobble up dollars and electricity.
Here, in descending order of piggishness in consuming electricity, are the three biggest energy hogs in most homes in the developed world:
- Air Conditioning: Far and away your biggest energy consumer if you have and use AC.
- Refrigerator: Second biggest energy hog in the home, right behind the AC, largely because it has to run 24/7.
- Washers and Dryers: For clothes, the impact is much larger than for dishes, although both contribute.
