Often, the most cost-effective improvements you can make to the energy-efficiency of your home are also the least expensive. The above chart is designed to help you prioritize steps and develop an action plan for energy-efficiency. A home energy audit can pinpoint where your home is losing energy, but even without doing an audit, you can take steps to reduce your energy usage.
The choice to be more energy-efficient may be clear, but the starting point can be more difficult to determine. The Pyramid of Conservation is designed to help you prioritize steps and develop an action plan that’s right for you. By establishing a foundation in energy-efficiency and gaining a better understanding about how you use energy, you can more effectively work your way up the pyramid.
