  2. Energy Did You Know Surveys Show You How to Easily Save Up to 50% On Utility Costs? All it Takes is Some Dedication!

  3. Make a Commitment Assess Performance and Set Goals Create an Action Plan Implement Action Plan Evaluate Progress Recognize Achievement Have A Plan

  4. The Building Envelope Includes Everything that Separates the Interior of the Building with the Outdoor Environment Such as: - Windows & Doors - Insulation - Foundations/Basement Slabs - Walls, Ceilings and Floors - Roof High-Performance Envelope Helps Maintain Consistent Temperature Regardless of Weather Building Envelope

  5. Account for 10%-25% of Heating Bill and Make A/Cs Work 2-3 Times Harder Install Double-Pane Low-E coatings with a NFRC Label, Low U-Value Insulation of .35 or Lower and Low SHGC Along With Air Leakage Ratings of .3 Cubic Ft./Minute Installing Storm Windows Reduce Heat Loss 25%-50%. Install White Window Coverings to Reflect Heat Away from Building Apply Sun-Control or Reflective Film on South Facing Windows to Reduce Solar Gain Keep Windows Clean to Maximize Solar Gain Windows

  6. Insulation Works Best When ALL Air Leaks are Minimized Only 20% of Buildings Constructed Before 1980 were Well-insulated Most Common Types are: 1) Batts 2) Rolls 3) Loose-Fill 4) Rigid Foam Boards Insulation

  7. Use ENERGY STAR Product Purchases What is ENERGY STAR? It is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR products have to meet strict energy efficient guidelines. ENERGY STAR products use an average of 40% less energy than other products. Immediate Payoffs

  8. ENERGY STAR CFLs use 66% less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and lasts 10 times longer. If every household replaced one bulb with a CFL, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. Incandescent Bulb vs.Compact Fluorescent Light

  9. Flushing accounts for 45% of indoor water use or 32,000 gallons per year per family Ways to Reduce Costs: 1) Charge Residents 2) Have a routine for Checking Leaks (can waste up to 200 gallons per day) 3) Install Ultra Low-Flow Toilets that Require 1.6 Gallons per Flush 4) Reduce Tank Capacity by Placing a One-Gallon Jug of Water in Tank Toilets

  10. Water Heaters • Water Heating is the Third Largest Energy Expense and Accounts for 14% of Utility Bills. • FIVE Ways to Cut Water Heating Bills: 1) Lower the Thermostat to 120 Degrees 2) Do Not Install it in an Unheated Room 3) Minimize the Length of Piping 4) Install Aerators in Faucets and Shower Heads 5) Install a Insulating Blanket

  11. Check Ducts for Air Leaks A Heat Pump to your Electric Heater Could Trim 30%-40% Electrical Usage Rope Caulk Leaky Windows Install a Clock Thermostat to Common Areas Office: Shut off All Electronics When Not in Use Use Dimmers, Timers and Motion Detectors Where Possible Low Cost Tips

  19. Natural Access Control Physical Guidance of People Coming and Going From a Space by the Judicial Placement of Entrances, Fences, Landscaping & Lighting

  20. Balcony Railings, Never Solid Wood Dead End Space Blocked by Fence/Gate Hallway Well Lit No More than 4 Apartments Sharing Same Entrance Access to the Building Should be Limited to No More than Two Points Natural Access Control Examples

  21. Territorial Reinforcement The Use of Physical Attributes that Express Ownership Such as Fencing, Pavement Treatments, Signage & Landscaping

  22. Property Lines Defined by Landscaping or Fencing Street Addresses Building Name Common Doorways Controlled by Residents Mailboxes Near Entrance Territorial Reinforcement Examples
