As the year beginsand winter sets in,you may be wonder-ing how to savemoney on your en-ergy bills this year.Conducting a do-it-yourself home en-ergy audit is a fast,relatively simple wayto assess how muchenergy your homeconsumes and deter-mine what you cando to make yourhome more energyefficient. A home energyaudit will show youwhere your home islosing energy, howefficient your heatingand cooling systemsare, and ways toconserve electricity.All it takes is a thor-ough inspection ofthe areas listed hereand keeping achecklist of the prob-lems you found.Air leaks. Stoppingor minimizing draftscan save 5 to 30 per-cent of your annual
energy costs. Someplaces to inspectwhere air commonlyseeps from homesinclude gaps around:baseboards, walland ceiling junc-tures, electrical out-lets, switch plates,window frames,weather stripping,fireplace dampers,attic doors, window-mounted air condi-tioners andfoundation seals. On your home’s ex-terior, look at theareas where two dif-ferent building mate-rials meet, such ascorners and areaswhere siding or brickcome together withchimneys or thefoundation. If youcan rattle windows orsee daylight arounddoor or windowframes, you likely arelosing air. Once you’ve identi-fied the leaks, sealthem with caulk,weather stripping or
the same material asthe original seal. Re-placing windows withnew, high-perfor-mance ones will im-prove your home’senergy efficiencyand get you a breakon your taxes. An in-expensive alternativeis to attach plasticsheets around yourwindows. Insulation. In olderhomes especially,the amount of insula-tion in the ceilingand walls may be in-sufficient for currentstandards. See ifyour attic door is in-sulated and closestightly. Openingsaround pipes, duct-work and chimneysshould be sealed.Look for a vapor bar-rier — tarpaper or aplastic sheet —under the attic insu-lation. To checkyour walls, make asmall hole in a closetor other out-of-the-way place and probe
into the wallwith alongstickorscrew-driver.The areashould becompletely filled withan insulating mate-rial. Fill the gaps in anyopenings with ex-panding foam. Flexi-ble caulk should beused to seal anyelectrical boxes inthe ceiling. If yourhome lacks a vaporbarrier, considerpainting interior ceil-ings with vapor bar-rier paint. Thisreduces the amountof water vapor thatcan pass through theceiling and reduceyour insulation’s ef-fectiveness. Heating and Cool-ing Equipment. In-spect your heatingand cooling equip-ment. See if ducts
and pipesthat arelocatedin un-heatedspacesand
yourwater heater
and hot water pipesare insulated. Dirtstreaks around yourductwork, especiallynear the seams, areevidence of leaks.Have your equip-ment checked andcleaned by a profes-sional annually. Ifyou have a forced-airfurnace, replace yourfilters as soon asthey are dirty. Even ifthey aren’t, replacethem every 30 to 60days. Consider re-placing units that aremore than 15 yearsold with a new en-ergy-efficient one. Lighting. Look atthe bulbs in yourhome and determineif a lower-watt bulbwould work just as
well for your needs.If you have an areawhere lights are onfor extended periodsof time, a compactfluorescent lamp(CFL) can save up to75 percent of thelighting energy of anincandescent bulb. A home audit is agreat way to find outyour home’s energydeficiencies andmake simple im-provements that willsave you time andmoney in the longrun.

Assess Your Home’s Efficiency with an Energy Audit
(ARA) - With moreand more homeown-ers choosing to stayin their current homesinstead of selling,many are deciding toremodel.If you are thinkingabout remodelingyour home, considerprojects that will addstyle, but will alsooffer the best returnon investment when itcomes time to sell.With return on vinylsiding and vinyl win-dow replacementeach above 70 per-cent, according to"Remodeling" maga-zine's 2010-11 Costvs. Value Report, it'sapparent that home-owners can gain con-siderable curb appealand return on invest-ment by upgradingthe exterior. "Updating yourhome with new win-dows or siding is agreat way to instantlyboost curb appealand reduce the main-tenance of yourhome," said JohnStephenson, vicepresident of marketingfor Ply Gem, a leadingexterior building prod-ucts company. "Butmany people are be-ginning to considerthe possibilities of anentire exterior re-model, by combiningmultiple product cate-gories such as win-dows, siding andstone veneer. Home-owners can take their
home beyond a sim-ple product replace-ment, and insteadgive it architecturalstyle and a new colorscheme." Ply Gem and remod-eling companyCase/Design Remod-eling, Inc. offer adviceon how to achieve acomplete, architec-turally-styled exteriorremodel based on arecent before andafter project.Envision your dreamhome"Having a visionhelps your remodelingcontractor understandwhat style you're look-ing for," said BruceCase, president ofCase/Design Remod-eling, Inc. "Keep inmind, it's also impor-tant to select a stylethat fits with the neigh-borhood. It may bemore difficult to sell inthe future if you makea too drastic change." Your remodeler canmake style sugges-tions, or you can drivearound older neigh-borhoods in your areato gauge ideas forwhat styles mightwork best. For this project, to-gether with the home-owners who werenominated by thecommunity to receivea free renovation fromCase/Design Remod-eling, the team de-cided to transform theexterior using archi-tectural elements of a
shingle home style.This style worked wellwith the home's moretraditional suburbanWashington, D.C.neighborhood, andalso worked well forrenovating the colo-nial two-story exteriorwithout significantstructural changes.Mix and match tex-ture and colorMore often than not,homeowners stickwith the basics whentaking on an exteriorrenovation. However,today's exterior build-ing products allow forinfinite options thatcan take your home tothe next level and gobeyond simply replac-ing windows and sid-ing. When remodelingthis particular homefrom a 1970s colonialto a modern interpre-tation of a shinglestyle, it was importantto incorporate newtextures and colors tocompletely transformthe look. "This home had awatered down style,but also had inherentarchitectural elementsto work with," saidDeryl Patterson, prin-cipal, BSB Design ar-chitecture firm. "Byreplacing the lap sid-ing with shingle sid-ing, the brick withstone veneer, the win-dows with a colonialgrille pattern, andadding red shutters,we were able to give it
character." Mixing and matchingtexture and color doesnot have to be anoverwhelmingprocess. Stephensonrecommends home-owners look to collec-tions like theDesigned ExteriorCollection by PlyGem, which help sim-
plify selection by iden-tifying color palettesand product combina-tions that work forspecific architecturalstyles. Consider architec-tural detailsBeyond texture andcolor changes, addingminor architectural de-tails can make a big
difference. For thisproject, a portico androof gable wereadded, but did not re-quire any structuralchanges or interiorwork. To see more ofthe renovation de-scribed in this storyvisitwww.facebook.com/plygem.
Transforming your exterior: lessons from the professionals
Before, this home had a watered down style, but was given architectural character and anew color scheme through a complete exterior renovation.
When this home was remodeled from a 1970s colonial to a modern interpretation of ashingle style, shown here, it was important to incorporate new textures and colors to com-pletely transform the look.

(ARA) - If you've fin-ished making yourholiday gift list, don'tput the pen and paperaway just yet. Whilethe holidays take up alot of attention rightnow, it's also a greattime to look a bit fur-ther into the future.With the new year justaround the corner,planning for home im-provement projectsnow can help you pri-oritize and budget.Spending more timeindoors at homemight be bringingsome potential proj-ects to your attention.Maybe you've noticedfraying carpet underyour toes, chippedpaint on a windowframe or a paint colorthat feels outdated -whatever needs to beaddressed should getmarked down on yourfix-it list.Give yourself adeadline for complet-ing the list and thencall a householdmeeting to start priori-tizing. One of themost important thingsyou can bring to thatmeeting is an idea ofhow much you can af-ford to spend. Giventhat the economy isstill lagging - andmany people are feel-ing that pull on theirpocketbooks - it's wis-est to avoid going intodebt to accomplisheverything you wantto do. Setting a home im-provement budgetgives you parametersto work within as youweigh the importanceof each project onyour list. However,
you should also cometo the table with a rea-sonable idea of howmuch it will cost tocomplete each of thetasks you want to fin-ish.Armed with your listand your budgetaryfigures, go througheach item, weighingthe pros and cons ofboth doing it now andletting it wait. You'll in-evitably have a lot ofoptions, including put-ting things off andsaving more moneythroughout the year,or investing somemoney in repairs nowand letting your sav-ings grow for midyearprojects. Naturally,you'll also need toconsider the con-straints of weather onyour projects - if youwant to put on a newdeck, you'll have towait until at leastspring. Consider thefact that an outdoorproject might feel a lotmore necessary whenwarmer weather ar-rives than it does now. Your long-term plansfor your home shouldalso come into play. Ifyou're planning onselling anytime soon,consider carefullywhether the projectsyou plan on doing willpay off at sale time.Additionally, if youplan on catching abuyer's eye, take anobjective look at whatmight help you makethe sale. If you'reworking with a Real-tor, you might evenwant to discuss withthem the best fix-upsand repairs withinyour budget.
