Room by room: Energy efficiency in bathrooms and bedrooms uses many of the same techniques found in other parts of the house. CFL's, faucet aerators, low-flush toilets, caulking around exterior windows and doors all play a part. Additionally, by installing a ceiling fan in the bedroom you might not need the central air conditioner in the summer, and if you reverse it during the cold months it will help push the warm air down to where you are. If you place lamps in the corners of the room, the light will bounce off two walls, not just one. Next week: Five things you never knew about dishwashers.
