During the winter, it is a good idea to weatherproof your windows. Weatherproofing your windows is an excellent way to keep the heat in and the cold air out of your home. It is easy to do (home weatherproofing kits can be purchased at many larger retailers) and it will save you money on your heating bill.

As well, throughout the winter, instead of turning up the thermostat in your Denver apartments, use a small portable heater to heat the room that you spend the most time in. The heater will help to reduce the monthly costs associated with heating the whole apartment and the less heat you use, the lower your winter heating bills.

Roof insulation can reduce heating cost by about 13%, which will save you money and greenhouse gas emissions. A well insulated roof can also substantially contribute to keeping your house cooler during the warmer summer months.

Here are some environmentally friendly roof insulation options:

Recycled Cellulose Fiber
Recycled cellulose fiber is made from newspaper and other paper products. It is somewhat more expensive, but it has far better insulation quality than many of the other options. The insulation is treated to make it fire retardant.

Recycled Denim

Another insulation option is denim and cotton waste. In most of these products, the recycled content is around the 80% mark. Like recycled cellulose, the denim is treated with boric acid to give it fire retardant properties and repel vermin.

Sheep’s Wool Insulation

Wool insulation is considered one of the best, but most expensive, insulation options. Borax may be used in wool insulation to discourage moths.
