Turn off the lights when not needed. It is a myth that leaving them on uses less energy than turning them off
Replace standard incandescent light bulbs with CFLs and save 75% off lighting costs
U.S. Residential Energy Usage (EIA, 2009)
Set your thermostat 5° higher during hot weather to save about 10% on cooling costs and lower the thermostat during cold weather
Run the dishwasher only when fully loaded and air-dry dishes on the "energy saver" setting
Turn your water heater down to 120° or the “Normal”
Wrap your water heater with a water heater blanket
Adjust the refrigerator temperature settings. Optimum refrigerator range is 37 to 40°F and freezer range is 0 to 5°F
Keep the coils (on the back or the bottom of the appliance) clean
Unplug electronics, battery chargers and other equipment when not in use. Taken together, these small items can use as much power as your refrigerator.
Enable “power management” on all computers and make sure to turn them off at night
Cook on range-top burners when practical instead of in the oven
Use the microwave for reheating and cooking small quantities of food
Behavior Change Tips for Commercial Buildings
