客厅的墙

• 可以考虑用灰泥代替油漆.
• 选择低毒性，低VOC或零VOC涂料.
• 典型的低VOC含量是:
  • 平漆小于150克/升
  • < 50 g/L for non-flat paints
• 考虑使用浅色涂料，以减少对人工照明的需求.
• 选择粘土石膏作为油漆的替代品，以创造丰富的，自然的纹理. 它透气、防霉、低致敏、低毒.
• 选择低毒, 低voc或零voc油漆，因为它们更安全, 更容易清理和排放更少的烟雾，因为他们干燥.
• 使用浅色涂料是减少人工照明需求的一种策略, 从而减少照明能源的使用.

客厅照明

• 把所有白炽灯换成led灯.
• 在所有照明装置中安装LED灯泡.
• 安装标有“能源之星”标签的灯具.
• Utilize natural daylight through windows instead of electrical lighting as much as possible by keeping windows clear of furniture or blinds.
• If remodeling, consider window placement and size to optimize your daylighting potential.
• Install dimmers to save energy and allow you to change the amount of light to suit your needs and extend the life of the light bulb. 确保灯泡和调光开关是兼容的.
• Include vacandy sensors on lighting - these trigger lights to go off if no one is in the room (but will not come back on with movement if watching movies, 等.)

一氧化碳探测器

• 检查你的一氧化碳(CO)电池，以确保他们工作.
• 每三到五年更换一次一氧化碳检测器.
• 在你的木材或燃气炉或壁炉附近安装一氧化碳探测器.

当一氧化碳浓度达到不健康水平时，一氧化碳探测器会向居民发出警告. 它们价格不贵，安装起来也相对容易.

• 在有燃料燃烧装置的房屋的每一层安装一氧化碳探测器. 因为CO气体在空气中分布均匀, it is best to install the detector between 5 and 6 feet high on the wall where it is most likely to be seen. 将探测器放置在距离燃料燃烧装置至少6英尺的地方.
• CO detectors should be replaced every 3 to 5 years depending on the life of the sensor. Most sensors do not sound an alarm until CO levels reach levels well above the EPA’s limit of 9 ppm. More expensive detector models will detect lower levels of CO and help prevent the health hazards from prolonged exposure to CO.

吊扇

• Turn off fans when not in the room; fans cool people, not rooms.
• 寻找有“能源之星”标签的车型, 哪些符合高效电机和控制的标准, 照明(如果安装), 30年的汽车保修, 以及高效的空气流动.
• 在冬天，利用风扇的反向模式. This produces an updraft that forces the warm air near the ceiling down into the living space.
• 安装LED灯泡，如果你的吊扇也包含一个灯具.

家用电子产品

• Eliminate plug loads (the fastest growing segment of residential energy use) by placing electronics on a power strip and turning off when not in use.
• 寻找能源之星标签时，购买家用电子产品.
• Seal any holes with caulk or spray foam where TV/cable wires and vents enter or exit home.
• 在无绳电话和数码相机等产品上使用可充电电池.

Consumer electronic product plug loads – the energy being consumed by household electronic devises plugged directly into a wall socket – are responsible for about 15 percent of household electricity use. 这些负载, 也被称为“幻影负载”,” are caused by electronics that may be turned off or are in standby mode but are still drawing electricity from the wall outlet.

• 调查你家里的幻影负载-寻找任何与时钟, 远程, 电源适配器在墙上, 电子功率开关, 电子键盘, 它的外围设备, 咖啡机, 多媒体或通讯设备. 把你的电子, 充电器和电源适配器插入电源条, 当产品不使用时，关闭贴片.
• 寻找能源之星标签时，购买家用电子产品 such as TVs, cable boxes, computer & 网络设备，以确保你得到一个更节能的模型. For example, ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units.
• 典型的U.S. households spend $100 per year to power devices while they are in "standby" power mode. “能源之星”合格产品使用更少的能源来执行这些功能.

客厅地板

• 选择木材(最好是FSC认证或再生木材), 不含或低VOC密封剂和粘合剂的天然油毡或软木地板, 是最佳的室内空气质量选择.
• 寻找可回收的地板产品.
• 如果考虑到地毯上, 寻找地毯, 填充物和胶粘剂被标记为散发较少挥发性有机化合物.
• 如果考虑到地毯上, choose low-pile carpet made with natural fibers such as wool or jute.
• Avoid carpet if possible - hard surfaces are better for human health/indoor air quality.
• If installing carpet, consider carpet tiles for ease of replacement and extended life of the carpet.
• 最佳空气质素, 你可能想要完全避免地毯，而选择木材, 天然油毡或软木.
• 如果考虑到地毯上, 寻找地毯, 填充物和胶粘剂被标记为散发较少挥发性有机化合物 (VOCs).
• Natural fiber carpets, such as wool or jute, are typically better for indoor air quality.
• Consider carpet tiles that don't require adhesives; worn or stained tiles can be replaced individually.
• 选择低绒地毯，以减少过敏原，如宠物的毛发和灰尘.
• 寻找可回收的地板产品.

壁炉

• Pay attention to local burn bans, and do not use your fireplace or wood stove when one is in effect.
• 燃烧木材的壁炉会造成室内和室外空气质量差, and are the least efficient way to heat your home; 90 percent of the wood’s heat goes up the stack. 考虑拆除家中的燃木壁炉，不要更换. 如果安装了燃气壁炉, 确保壁炉是EPA认证和AFUE评级密封燃烧(e.g. 壁炉上的门)和通风.
• 如果你选择建造一个新的砖石壁炉，建一个拉姆福德风格的壁炉. 这些高性能壁炉产生更低的排放. Some models meet the EPA’s Phase II stove emission rate and are approved by Washington State’s Department of Ecology fireplace standard. 由于其设计，拉姆福德壁炉也更节省木材.

无管热泵

• 考虑更换电动踢脚板, 电炉和带有无管道热泵的电墙加热器, 哪些效率是前者的2-3倍.
• Check with your utility for rebates on ductless heat pump units and installation – most provide substantial rebates.

恒温器

• 一些学习型恒温器提供额外的功能, and there are rapid developments in technologies to integrate with phones and mobile devices.
• Always use the features of your thermostat, whichever type it is, to match your schedule.
• Learn how to “set back” your thermostat – a savings strategy for when you’re away for long periods or at night. 这可能不适用于热泵，所以请与您的供暖承包商确认.
