For example, insulating a home allows a building to use less\u00a0energy to\u00a0achieve and maintain a desired temperature. Use FLUORESCENT or LED bulbs to save more Energy and Money with the same results as using an\u00a0<b>incandescent\u00a0<\/b>type or bulb. How to Use Energy Efficiently<\/p>\n<h3>Modern appliances to reduce electricity consumption<\/h3>\n<p>Modern appliances, such as freezers, ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and clothes washers and dryers, use significantly less energy than older appliances. Installing a clothesline during summer, especially in Texas, will significantly reduce one&#8217;s energy consumption as your dryer will be used less. Current energy-efficient refrigerators, for example, use 40% less energy than conventional models did in 2001.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building design and location also SAVE you MONEY. How to Use Energy Efficiently<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A building\u2019s location and surroundings play a key role in regulating or adjusting naturally its temperature and illumination. For example, trees, landscaping, and hills can provide shade, protecting you from sunlight in the afternoon; which will warm up your house during summer. South-facing windows increase the amount of sun (ultimately heat energy) entering the building in the morning, minimizing energy use, by maximizing <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Passive solar heating\" href=\"http:\/\/energy.gov\/energysaver\/passive-solar-home-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passive solar heating<\/a>, and saving you money on your electric bill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The color of your roof is also important&#8221;. Dark roofs may become up to 39 \u00b0C (70 \u00b0F) hotter than most white surfaces. They transmit some of this heat inside the building. US Studies have shown that lightly colored roofs use 40 percent less energy for cooling than buildings with darker roofs. This is very important if you are planning on remodeling or building new house energy in a sunnier climate like Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>Automatic Energy-Saving Systems in Texas. How to Use Energy Efficiently<\/h3>\n<p>Automatic systems to save energy and money have become popular in Texas, systems such as automatic watering systems or automatic motion security lights will save you time and money because they work based on sensors and timers so they will only use energy when needed, without human interaction.<\/p>\n<h3>Savings plans in the US<\/h3>\n<p><strong> Main article:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/energy.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Energy Conservation in the United States<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A 2011 <a title=\"Energy Modeling Forum\" href=\"https:\/\/emf.stanford.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Energy Modeling Forum<\/a> study covering the United States showed\u00a0how <strong>energy efficiency<\/strong> opportunities &#8220;<em>will shape future fuel and electricity demand over the next several decades&#8221;<\/em>. The US economy is already set to lower its energy and carbon-based fuel intensity, but explicit policies are necessary to meet climate goals. These policies include a carbon tax, mandated standards for more efficient modern appliances, buildings above mentioned, and electric vehicles.
