We turn our computers off when we are not using them. The thermostat upstairs is set at 79 (I did have it turned off, but hubby had me turn it back on and set it high since we are in a high humidity zone). The one downstairs is at 73 when we are home and 78 when we are away. We turn off lights and televisions when not in the room. We use the small florescent light bulbs, have double insulated windows with tinting. Lots of insulation and attic venting, a high effency HVAC system, newer high efficiency appliances. I'm just not sure what else we can do. Hubby attends energy conservation seminars for his home building and is one of the most energy effecient home builders in the area. I just don't understand where the energy consumption is coming from.
