A radiant barrier (paper backed foil) installed under attic roof will reflect heat and reduce heat gain by as much as 95%. If you have air conditioning ducts in the attic, ducts stay cooler and HVAC does not have to work so hard to cool the home.

A high performance shower head can save as much as 60% on water and water heating.

No VOC paint and formaldehyde free materials and furnishings make for better air quality. There is no off gassing of chemicals.
