About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows.

Hang laundry to dry
A typical clothes dryer uses up to four times more energy than a clothes washer.

Keep your cool.
Let cold air circulate between items in your fridge, but pack things tight in the freezer.

Give your computer a rest.
Set your computer to go to “sleep” after 20 minutes of inactivity.
