Additional energy saving opportunities Fireplace –install electric insert Reduces draft from chimney and lost energy Tankless hot water heater Reduces losses and gives hot water on demand Drain water heat recovery Powerpipe regains heat from the waste water All lights to be high efficiency LED Lower life cycle cost
Effective use of sun, water and gardening New dual toilet Low flow faucets Rain barrel Keep picture window (double pane) Sky lights in addition Plant trees- backyard Garden-optional
