put it on an “energy diet.”

By cutting wasteful energy use, an energy-efficient home is a strong defense against winter
winds, rain, sleet, snow, and chill while also reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas

The Alliance offers consumers step-by-step home physical fitness tips to cut energy bills and
increase comfort.
