Spring is finally upon us. With warmer weather and longer days ahead, there are a variety of ways you can take advantage of the nice weather to save energy. Read on for five easy ways to save energy in the spring anyone can do:

1. Open your windows: Take advantage of spring’s mild temperatures by opening your windows and naturally cooling your home.
2. Use ceiling fans: Cooling your home with ceiling fans will allow you to raise your thermostat four degrees. This can help lower your electricity bills without sacrificing overall comfort.
3. Use daylighting techniques: Switch off the lights during the daytime. Instead, open the blinds and let the sun light your home.
4. Cook outside: On warmer spring days, keep the heat out of your home by using an outdoor grill instead of indoor ovens.
