Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services.

Modern appliances, such as, freezers, ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and clothes washers and dryers, use significantly less energy than older appliances. Installing a clothesline will significantly reduce your energy consumption as your dryer will be used less. Current energy efficient refrigerators, for example, use 40 percent less energy than conventional models did in 2001. 

A building’s location and surroundings play a key role in regulating its temperature and illumination. For example, trees, landscaping, and hills can provide shade and block wind.  

Lightly colored roofs use 40 percent less energy for cooling than buildings with darker roofs.

The home energy calculator uses, power, cost, kwh, time, KWH, Kitchen Appliances, Laundry, Miscellaneous Appliances, Personal Care to calculate an output.
