Are you wasting energy?

Homes use energy, lots of it, electricity, gas, water. A home energy audit is a great way to take a look at where you could be saving money on utilities, this could be anywhere from 5% to 30% of your total usage. There are DIY ways to do this and it's pretty simple.  You could also hire a special home energy auditor to perform a more sophisticated home energy audit.
I like the idea of a do it yourself approach at first, this article in thedailygreen.com website was simple and straightforward. This is a good way to start educating yourself about your home and easy ways to start on making your home more energy efficient.
Look at it as a treasure hunt in reverse.
