Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that 27 over time and let in more outside air.Fortunately, there are a 28 number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from 29 ones like Lincoln’s Cottage to your own postwar home.
