your home energy<br />

DesTiny<br />

Let Energy Trust of Oregon be your guide. We’ll show you easy, low-cost and no-cost ways to reduce energy use<br />

today and realize energy savings well into the future.<br />

LIGHTING<br />

Cut your lighting energy use by<br />

as much as 75 percent—every<br />

time you turn the lights on—by<br />

installing compact fluorescent<br />

bulbs. You’ll save even more in the<br />

long run because they’ll last 10<br />

times longer than standard bulbs.<br />

HEATING<br />

Turn down the thermostat to<br />

65-68 degrees during the day,<br />

and to 58-60 degrees at night<br />

during cooler months. Set your<br />

water heater thermostat to<br />

125 degrees.<br />

ELECTRONICS<br />

Save on energy used to run your<br />

home electronics by making<br />

efficient choices. Choose higherefficiency<br />

ENERGY STAR® models<br />

and turn off your computer,<br />

printer, TV and other electronics<br />

when not in use.<br />
