What You Can Learn by Going Barefoot in Your House

If you want to find where all the energy leaks are in your house, an easy way to do it is to walk around your house in your bare feet on a cold winter day.

Because hot air rises, the cooler air is already at foot-level and any cold spots are felt immediately. You can feel the difference along outside walls, around windows and doors, and in stairways, so you know where it might make sense to invest in more insulation and improved weather stripping.
