What AI says about ENERGY STAR Home Energy Yardstick

ENERGY STAR's Home Energy Yardstick is a simple assessment tool that measures your home's annual energy use and compares it to similar homes, returning a score from 0 to 10. It shows how much energy is spent on heating and cooling versus appliances, lighting, and hot water, and estimates your home's annual carbon emissions, with links to guidance to improve efficiency and lower utility bills. To calculate the Yardstick score you provide basic information such as ZIP code, home square footage, number of occupants, and fuels used, and you can create an account to save your data (or contact [email protected] for help).
