Considerations should be made for extremely <br />cold temperatures as to avoid freezing pipes. <br />During the summer months, with central air conditioning, <br />Energy.gov recommends setting the thermostat to 78°F while you <br />are occupying the apartment and need cooling and setting the <br />thermostat higher while you are away. Energy.gov recommends that <br />you set your thermostat at as high a temperature as comfortably <br />possible and ensure humidity control if needed. <br />Please note that the thermostat settings listed above are only <br />recommended guidelines and that the appropriate thermostat <br />setting will depend upon weather conditions and the size and <br />layout of your unit. <br />Lighting and Light Bulbs.Use natural light when possible. <br />Consider replacing standard incandescent light bulbs with energy- <br />saving compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) or light-emitting <br />diodes (LEDs). <br />Appliances.We strongly encourage the use of appliances that have <br />the ENERGY STAR label or other energy-efficient labeling. <br />Conserve Electricity.
