Lurking in your walls, in your attic and basement, all around you are power leaks that are costing you money and impacting the environment.  Don’t know what to do?  No worries, call the Green Ghost Busters, Sustainable Spaces, Inc. of San Francisco, CA.  Armed with an arsenal of hi-tech gadgets, Sustainable Spaces, with CEO Matt Golden,  will hunt down those costly inefficiencies and take them out.

Sustainable Spaces is actually a full service home energy efficiency company that will help homeowners diagnose and solve energy inefficiencies, as well as help you with your new construction to make sure that it is done right, the first time.

According to Sustainable Spaces, buildings in the US account for:

• 36% of total energy use / 65% of electricity consumption
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
• 30% of raw materials use
• 30% of waste output/136 million tons annually
• 12% of potable water consumption

and the average US Family spends an average of $1,300 a year on their homes utility bills.

They explain that a large portion of this energy use is wasted and by having them test their home and retrofit it to Energy Star compliance, households can save 10-50% on their energy bills.  To read more about Sustainable Spaces, Inc. you can visit their site or read the recent article in Wired Magazine.
