You can use this information to then make adjustments and improvements to save more energy over time. This video from This Old House shows viewers how they can perform a whole-house energy audit to determine what areas need improvement. The video includes both the shopping list and tools needed to perform the audit. This is great for any homeowner who may not know how much energy they are using on a regular basis or those who want to find more ways to lower their monthly energy bills.
