Day #15: programmable thermostat



having a programmable thermostat helps reduce your energy consumption. it's brilliant! you can program the time to adjust the temperature for when no one is home or when it's time to go to bed so you can "set it and forget it".


"Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer. Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment." - from How to Stop Global Warming
