The “Home Efficiency Analysis Tool” offered by Touchstone Energy is an easy and interactive exercise to learn what improvements you can make at home to increase its energy efficiency and lower your electric costs.

On the website togetherwesave.com, sponsored by Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, you can create a “profile” of your house: where it is, what type it is, some construction features, its size, when it was built and how many occupants are there. Then given that information, you can look at a series of guides that point to actual projects that could make your place more energy efficient. The projects, from Southface Energy Institute, are well explained and illustrated.
