A personal energy plan helps you establish your energy use baseline from which you can identify specific changes and improvements to save money and reduce your carbon footprint, and the data you enter lets you track your progress.

The most important and strategic action you can take is to improve your building or living space. Start by getting a free building energy audit which will identify the improvements that will have the greatest energy savings for your investment. Then you’ll be provided with information regarding qualified contractors to perform the work and information on financing the improvements. 

This list of actions are suggested here because they will result in measurable changes in your energy usage. They are arranged in each category in order of expense and/or difficulty.
