Microsoft Corp. is slowly beefing up a Web site aimed at helping people monitor their home energy use and pinpoint ways to cut costs.
The site, called Microsoft Hohm, launched last summer. People can enter details about their home, such as when it was built and what kind of heating system and thermostat it has.
The site is still a work in progress, but you may find it interesting and already helpful. The link is listed under 'Conserve Energy/Save Energy' on our Links page (Q.V.)
