Home Improvements for Your Home Business Can Save Money and Energy
Some simple home improvements that can help your home-based business save money and energy are:
1) During summer and other hot months, pull your shades to keep direct sunlight out. This helps keep you home cooler without using air conditioning.
2) Plant trees around your home to keep it cooler, too, with plenty of shaded areas.
3) Consider water power and solar power where you can, like with simple solar light bulbs.

To me it would start with a home energy audit for any residential home whether containing a home business or not.
Many utilities are offering it for free; otherwise it costs around $350-ish for a two to three hour detailed review of the house's energy efficiency / inefficiency.
We had a home energy audit performed last fall and have written about it (on the ECOENERGY page of our home web site) so others can become more aware of what is contained in the actual report: the charts, the graphs, the EnerGuide rating, the recommendations and so on.
This home energy audit report provides a blue print for the home owner on energy conservation tactics and approaches specific to their home. Each home is unique. With the report the home owner can use fact based information to decide where to spend their money on energy conservation devises such as ENEGY STAR rated windows, exterior solar shades, high efficiency furnace or A/C, increased attic insulation.
However, before they spend money on such devices if needed, there is a plethora of ways in which the home owner can reduce their non-renewable resource energy consumption needing little to zero money to be spent. Again, all of this can be from the home energy audit report. In fact, we have collected more than 80 separate energy conservation tops on the ENERGY CONSERVATION page of our home web site if folks don't want to wait for their own home energy audit report to start saving money.
We learned much about home energy conservation from our home energy audit and feel every home owner will likewise.
