It seems today that as with the current economic climate, and thanks to years upon years of replacement window talk, our collective mind seems to scroll to and tries to plug in a word here. Many would have us corralled, and I will say it, into believing that “Energy-Efficiency” is nirvana.
Now, you may sense where I am going here, and don’t get me wrong, part of being house smart and responsible, or may I dare say being “green”, is being energy-efficient. But there is so much more to it.
How energy-efficient are you, after all, if your house well-insulated and caulked, sits a long commute from where you work. How house smart is it for us to put up new homes in new communities when there are so many gems still begging to be uncovered and reclaimed?
Efficiency, for our purposes here, is about knowing yourself and knowing your surroundings. It’s about being part of the reality we live in. It is about making efficient, hence economical, decisions to match your home and life plans.

I do still intend to do a post on energy tax credits -- though I am sure you can find this in several places now. . . Here is a link to an article in July 2009 issue of Chesapeake Home. Props and thank you: http://tinyurl.com/n5zgz5
