    This is a good basic starter, but there’s so much more that can be done for efficiency and further reducing your impact while owning a house. These are a few off the top of my head:

    • Installing high efficiency windows and doors
    • Keep/add the mud room
    • Add better insulation
    • If you’re in the middle of a remodel, check for water distribution efficiency
    • Grow a small hydroponic garden for your most commonly eaten veggies
    • They’re currently pretty rare, but adding a recycling water shower
    • Battery assisted fridges and stoves (there’s a healthy dose of nuance between this and home battery backups)
    • Form a community microgrid
