Save Energy With the "Home Improvement Toolbox"
Looking to save energy on your heating bills? The Energy Star program -- a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and DOE -- has launched a new Web-based "toolbox" that provides online advice for saving energy at home. Through four tools labeled "Home Improvement Tool," "Remodeling and Home Improvement," "Home Doctor," and "Home Benchmarking Tool," this site provides interactive guidance on energy efficiency for your home. See the Energy Star Home Improvement Toolbox at: http://www.epa.gov/hhiptool/index.html.
Those familiar with the Home Energy Saver Web site, produced by DOE's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), may notice some similarities to the "Home Improvement Tool" -- both Web sites are powered by the same calculations. If you're not familiar with it, the Home Energy
Saver is worth investigating as a resource for energy-saving ideas. See the LBL Web site at: http://homeenergysaver.lbl.gov/.
