Energy tips on lights thermostats and cars
The panel answers common questions about energy use. Turning lights on uses energy briefly and much of the cost is from lighting time. Lowering the thermostat saves about two percent per degree, about 120 gallons from 2000 yearly fuel if lowered three degrees. Fluorescent lamps deliver more light per energy than incandescent lamps. At 75 mph air resistance doubles compared with 60 mph, increasing energy use.
