High Performance Homes
Baths
Energy cost savings in the bathroom are not as dramatic as those in the kitchen and laundry. Homeowners can begin by replacing the light bulbs with compact florescent lights (CFL). Homeowners can also select low volume toilets which use less water per flush. By simply saving the tub for special occasions and taking a shower instead, water use is dramatically reduced. Install a secondary shut-off which allows for shutting off the flow while soaping without losing the original temperature setting.
The last bathroom energy saver applies to everyone and every room in the house. Turn off the lights when leaving the room.
