In closing, here are some MORE simple actions you can take to reduce energy costs, improve comfort, and reduce air pollution in your home:


- Control indoor air pressure to help prevent a variety of comfort, safety and health problems.
- Eliminate the need for air leakage through your home's building envelope by using mechanical ventilation to supply as much fresh filtered air as you want.
- Insulate the walls and attic as much, or more than, recommended for your local climate.
- Seal air leaks in the building's envelope to block entry of microbes, allergens, toxins, irritants, insects, and cold drafts.
- These actions will make your home a safer shelter if an accident, or a terrorist, releases chemical, biological or radiological substances upwind of your home.
- Use a powered exhaust system on any device that burns fuel indoors.
