Heat of Winter

Winter has finally arrived in earnest in the Pacific Northwest. While I welcome the winter weather, it does pose some challenges for our energy use.

With that in mind, I found an article with tips for renters who want more efficient energy use in winter. I think the ideas could also work for homeowners.

It has some great information about the use of thermostats. I particularly like the ideas about bundling up and cooking at home. Also, the suggestion about making small improvements to your home makes for an easy way of taking action and seeing the difference.

Now, I can enjoy winter even more because I'm wasting less energy.
