Take the Energy Star Home Challenge and make two improvements

Buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy use in the U.S., and almost half of our energy use at home is spent just heating the place up. How does your home energy use measure up? If you have five minutes to spare plus easy access to your recent utility bills, then you're ready to take the Energy Star Home Challenge.

There are countless ways to save at home, but it's important to know where you're starting from. After you complete the Challenge quiz, follow the links to discover hidden energy savings, from installing new air filters to taking advantage of rebates and tax credits for buying energy efficient appliances. Get inspired by real stories of success, then commit to making two improvements to your home energy usage.

Which changes are you going to make around the house?
