2. Insight to how much of your home’s energy use is related to heating and cooling versus other everyday uses like appliances, lighting, and hot water;
3. Links to guidance from ENERGY STAR on how to increase your home’s score, improve comfort, and lower utility bills; and
4. An estimate of your home’s annual carbon emissions.
