Question

1. name five ways you can help conserve energy in your home.

Explanation:

1. Turn off lights: When rooms are unoccupied, switching off lights saves electrical energy used for illumination.
2. Unplug unused devices: Many electronics (like chargers, TVs on standby) draw "phantom" power; unplugging stops this.
3. Use energy - efficient bulbs: LED or CFL bulbs use less energy than incandescent bulbs for the same light output.
4. Adjust thermostat: In winter, lower the temperature slightly (e.g., 68°F instead of 72°F) and in summer, raise it; this reduces heating/cooling energy use.
5. Seal air leaks: Use weatherstripping around doors/windows to prevent conditioned air (heated or cooled) from escaping, reducing the load on HVAC systems.

Answer:

1. Turn off lights when not in use.
2. Unplug electronic devices that are not being used.
3. Replace traditional bulbs with energy - efficient LED or CFL bulbs.
4. Adjust the thermostat to a more energy - saving temperature (e.g., lower in winter, higher in summer).
5. Seal air leaks around doors and windows.
