About Small Space Energy

Our Focus

Small Space Energy provides practical energy efficiency guidance for people living in apartments, condos, and compact homes. We focus on what actually works in small spaces—especially for renters who can't make permanent modifications.

Too much energy efficiency advice assumes you own a house and can renovate at will. We take a different approach: practical tips that work within the constraints of apartment living.

What We Cover

Our guides focus on:

• Heating and cooling efficiency in spaces where you may have limited control
• Renter-friendly improvements that don't require landlord permission or permanent changes
• Appliance and electronics use to reduce phantom loads and improve efficiency
• Room-by-room strategies tailored to typical apartment layouts
• Simple habit changes that add up over time

Our Approach

We believe in:

• Comfort first: Efficiency shouldn't mean discomfort. The goal is the same comfort with less energy.
• Practical advice: We focus on what you can actually do, not theoretical improvements.
• Honest guidance: We won't exaggerate benefits or promise unrealistic results.
• Accessible information: Energy efficiency shouldn't require technical expertise to understand.

What We're Not

We don't provide:

• Financial advice or specific cost calculations
• Information about rebates, tax credits, or incentive programs (these vary too much by location)
• Advice on major renovations or building systems
• Emergency or safety guidance (consult professionals for those)
