We finally have our home energy use where we want it!
After 2 years of effort and $2k of expenditures which included things like re-caulking every window, re-insulating all door frames, insulating every wall socket and switch, replacing the broken instant hot water recirculator, flipping over to CFLs, having a whole house fan installed, jacketing the hot water heater, reprogramming the thermostat, and a whole lot of education for and self discipline from everyone in the house, we finally have our home energy consumption right where we want it!
Below is a graphic from a tool that our utility provider offers. It measures your home's profile and occupancy against others in your region with similar metrics. For reference, we pay around $0.13 per kWh of electricity and $1.24 per therm of natural gas:
