Did you know:

From 1970 to 1989, residential buildings accounted for 33% of energy consumption in the U.S. According to the most recent figures, residential buildings accounted for 22% of energy consumption in the U.S. This is largely due to better insulation, and energy-efficient windows and appliances.

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, we would provide enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, save more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

It pays to go green at home. According to a study by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, for every dollar decrease in annual home energy expenditures, house values increase between $11.63 and $20.73.
