Step-by-Step Instructions:
Review the Energy Bill:
Begin by examining your household energy bill. Note the total energy consumption and costs. Understanding your current usage is the first step toward making improvements.
Conduct an Energy Audit:
Walk through your home and inspect areas where energy might be wasted. Check for drafts around windows and doors, and examine appliances for energy efficiency. Use your notebook to document any potential energy leaks or inefficiencies you find.
Create an Energy Reduction Plan:
Based on your findings, develop a plan to reduce energy usage. Simple actions like turning off lights when not in use, switching to energy-efficient bulbs, and sealing drafts can make a significant difference. Write down your plan and set achievable goals.
