An energy audit; a blog. Why not?
On one (pragmatic) hand, utility bills are a fact of life. On the other (moralistic/idealistic) hand, all things "green" are of great general interest, yet remain poorly understood by the casual observer. As a blogger, I wear several hats at once: homeowner, economist, writer of muse, and self-made energy geek. Having secured an energy audit for my own home, I am taking my own medicine. The posts that follow will reveal snippets from that audit, as well as a diary of implemented projects. Perhaps this platform will generate some conversation. There's only one way to find out.
A home energy audit is not an event-- it's a journey. This is the ongoing saga of one 21st century family's attempt to tame its utility bills.

What's an
"energy audit?"
ANSWER:
A roadmap that evaluates the practical improvements that can be implemented to reduce a building's energy waste-- resulting in utility bill savings as well as reduced environmental impacts.
