ENERGY STAR:  ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.  The site includes information on household products, home improvement and new home construction ideas and commercial building and plant construction ideas.

HOME ENERGY SAVER:  The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and U.S. Department of Energy offer an online home energy saver calculator.  The calculator uses zip codes to establish average weather conditions, heating degree days, cooling degree days and allows users to describe their homes in significant detail.  It then calculates energy use and costs for description details and savings after suggested changes.

SUSTAINABILITY:  Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers suggestions and tips on how we can all contribute to sustainability in our role as a consumer and citizen-and as a steward of the environment.
