Energy Efficiency:

The Consumer Guide will help you find energy-saving products and show you how to use them most effectively. From light bulbs to furnaces, air conditioners to washing machines, windows to refrigerators, all are covered in this guide for consumers who care about the environment and about their budget.

Estimating Appliance and Home Electronic Energy Use
If you're trying to decide whether to invest in a more energy-efficient appliance or you'd like to determine your electricity loads, you may want to estimate appliance energy consumption.

Energy Efficient Lighting
Electric lighting burns up to 25% of the average home energy budget.

 Energy Tax Credits: 

Tax Incentives Assistance Project
The Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP), sponsored by a coalition of public interest nonprofit groups, government agencies, and other organizations in the energy efficiency field, was designed to give consumers and businesses information they need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies passed by Congress as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Alliance to Save Energy
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 provided valuable federal tax credits for consumers who purchase fuel-efficient hybrid-electric vehicles and who make certain, specified energy-efficiency upgrades to their homes.
