Hypermiling At Home
This thread is not about low effort fixes like more efficient light bulbs, it is a list for the hardcore greenies willing to put the same effort into saving energy at home as they do when hypermiling.
Here is a list of what I have thought of so far:
- While watching tv, shut it off during the commercial breaks like when FASing your car, or put it on mute like a Nice-on coast.
- While using the stove to scramble eggs or saute something turn the stove off before the eggs or whatever you are cooking is completely done and use the heat that is retained in the pan to finish cooking. Kind of like a pulse and glide.
- While showering, only turn the water on briefly to get wet, then turn it off to soap up, then on again to rinse off. Like FASing when idleing.
Please post any other ideas.
