- If your attic doesn't have any, add some soffit vents and ridge vents.
- Plant trees on the south side of the house. Deciduous trees, so you get shade in the summer, but sun in the winter.
- Plant evergreen trees on the north side.

- Use the microwave in the summer, stove top and oven in the winter.
- Don't use the dishwasher dry cycle. When it finishes, open the door and let the steam out.
