This is why it can be particularly advantageous to be aware of the Energy Star Home Energy Yardstick Assessment, which is sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This program is designed to help homeowners measure their energy efficiency and evaluate opportunities to reduce their energy use.

The assessment is conducted with the help of a Home Energy Yardstick “checkbook”, which contains a set of questions related to energy use in various areas of the home.
