include a discussion of at least 4 of the following items and how they relate to improving energy efficiency at home.

Heating and cooling appliances
Landscaping
Light bulbs
Standby energy
Energy Star appliances
Weather strips
Caulking
Insulation

Answer 1

insulation makes you need your A/C and Furnace less so you don't need to use as much electricity.

Some light bulbs last longer and use less electricity so you don't have to waste energy going to the store and buying more and it uses less energy just to use them in general.

I dont know if this applies to Landscaping but ill try
Some landscaping like tomatoes and other food that you can grow on your own save you trips to the store and let you burn less gas. Also the fruit/vegtables can let Bees have a place to get nectar from.

Weather strips are similar to insulation and can keep a draft from coming into your house making it cooler/warmer. Having weather strips will make you use ur A/C or Furnace alot less and save energy.
