Energy Use

Happy Friday! Time for a easy-to-understand green principle for the weekend.  Listed below is a chart of how energy use is typically spent.

As you can see (and might already know), buildings -commercial or residential- use the most energy across the board, with lighting and heating consuming the highest percentages.  So, consider LED light fixtures, room sensor switches, and incorporate daylighting into buildings.  Insulate walls with some of the new bio-based products, or even turn down the thermostat a few degrees.  We could all save some energy this weekend.
