The National Bureau of Standards has compiled the list of 20 tips to help homeowners save energy and stay comfortable in summer. Research shows that some of the most important measures are to reduce heat gain from the attic, reduce internal heat generation in the house, shade windows from solar radiation, and use whole-house fans to take advantage of natural temperature cycles and to provide ventilation. Turning up the thermostat on air conditioners is also important.
