Hanover: “What’s Your Score?”
What’s your score? Well that is just what energystar.gov is asking with the EPA’s new Home Energy Yard Stick. This online quiz “provides a simple assessment of your home’s annual energy use compared to similar homes.”[1]
According to the website just by answering a few simple questions like: your zip code, the size of your home, how many occupants, what type of fuel you use, and recent billing information you can determine your Yard Stick Score and “Insights into how much of your home’s energy use is related to heating and cooling versus other everyday uses like appliances, lighting, and hot water; plus Links to guidance from ENERGY STAR on how to increase your home’s score, improve comfort, and lower utility bills.”
Why is it important to know your homes Yard Stick Score? So you can make smart decisions about your energy use and home improvements. By knowing your homes personal score “you can increase your Yardstick score by improving the energy efficiency of the features and/or equipment of your home or by making changes in the way you operate your home to use less energy.”[2]
