See how your home’s efficiency measures up

EPA’s Home Energy Yardstick provides a simple assessment of a home’s annual energy use compared to similar houses. By answering a few basic questions, homeowners can get:

The Home Energy Yardstick score (on a scale of 0 to 10);

Insights into how much of the energy use is related to heating and cooling versus other everyday uses like appliances, lighting and hot water;

Links to guidance from Energy Star on how to increase the home’s score;

An estimate of the home’s annual carbon emissions.
