Reduce Your Electric Bills for NYC Renters — Co-op Power

All of the outside walls, windows, doors, top floor ceilings, and floors are called the envelope or shell of your apartment building. You spend money heating or cooling the air inside your building. When it leaks out, you have to spend more money heating or cooling more air. There are two equally important things to do to keep this conditioned air in your building: air seal and insulate. Stop air coming in from the outside with door sweeps, window caulk, spray foam, weather stripping and interior storm windows.

Follow this DIY EnergyStar guide to air seal and insulate your home.
