Energy saving techniques fal l into two categories, passive and act ive. Active systems require mechanical equipment--pumps, pipes, fans and ducts which con vey- heat to s torage areas and then to l iving areas. Passive systems use exist ing elements--like the build ing's skin, to collect and store heat . \ Energy conscious decor at ing,using oass4ve energy- saving principles, is one immediate \solutipn that 's practical and fun and doesn' t require a degree from MIT. First , think of natural materials-cotton, s i lk or wool for upholstery, and hardwood for furniture, f looring, paneling and shut ters . Nature 's materials are fashionable", wil l contribute their beauty to your decor and, best of al l , help con serve energy. Hardwood is a part icularly good example: for one thing i t is a renew able resource that is plenti ful- in supply and, in addi t ion, i t requires a minimal amount of precious fossi l fuel in i ts production. Decorating a kitchen us ing passive techniques re sults in act ive good looks and efficiency too. Let hardwood cabinets provide storage here; they stand ujf" well to heavy use and the wood's natural graining wil l add depth and dimension to the room. A great choice for an eating surface is a butcher block table with i ts parquet pattern adding de sign interest . As counter tops too, butcher block is a practical and popular ma terial . Like hardwood in i ts other forms, butcher block is easy to maintain and gives years of service. The butcher block cutt ing board has been around for a long t ime and is s t i l l the favored cutt ing surface in ki tchens and butcher shops around the world. Chairs of cane and hardwood complete the furniture needs of a kitchen with grace and style. On the f loor, s late or terra cotta t i le has the energy advantage of s toring heat during the sunny hours of the day and releasing i t in the evening. Decorative touches combine practical functions ut i l izing nature 's materials , oak beams pro vide visual interest and placement tor t rack l ighting; plate rack displays collec t ions; hand-painted birch veneer plywood "curtains" at the window never need ironing. "Lining" a room in hard wood is another good en ergy saver. The first reason is psychological . Wood helps create the feel ing of warmth in a room. When sur rounded by nature 's mater ial , one actually feels warmer even when the temv perature is actually a couple of degrees lower. Hardwood shutters save en ergy every day. The air pocket that is created be tween the glass and the wood insulates and helps keep the cold air out of the room. Color and l ighting are an important factor in the feel ing of warmth in every in terior spac^. Even pictures and wall hangings . add warmth. A bare wall creates an austere look that is def ini tely cold. Energy conscious decor at ing pays immediate divi dends in good looks and can substantial ly shrink uti l i ty bi l ls in the bargain.
