Over the years, energy efficiency has been controversial. Neither side can agree on a solution. Since cleaner energy is a topic of debate, there is a potential middle ground solution to more energy efficient homes.
Homes with an abundance of skylights and windows could be a solution. Natural lighting can enter the home and light up a majority of rooms. Rooms without windows (interior rooms, especially those on lower levels) can be illuminated with LEDs. LED lights are more energy efficient, brighter, and last longer than their counterparts. LED lights can also be used for nighttime lighting when there is an absence of daylight.
