The purpose of the ConserveIQ Quiz is to:

  • Review your normal activities and consider things you may not normally think of
  • Improve your indoor air quality
  • Evaluate ways to save you money on water and energy bills

If you score a high CIQ, you may already be saving money and conserving resources. If you score a low CIQ, there may be some opportunities for you to save money and resources. Have each member of your family or your friends take the test separately and discuss your scores. It’s always a good idea to take the CIQ Quiz again as you make changes to your activities. Watch your ConserveIQ increase and your utility bills decrease!

How many times in the last month have you had to take the plunger to your toilet? (We promise this question has a purpose. Remember, clogs aren’t your fault – they’re due to poor toilet design.)

Paper Wall Paper: Just a cheap way to cover up sheetrock.
Shiny Vinyl or Plastic Wall Paper: It still looks like it’s 1970 in here.
Plaster, Venetian Plaster, or Stucco: I’m fancy!
Clay Plaster: I’m fancy AND healthy!
Low VOC Paint: Low to tha’ V, to tha’ O, to tha’ C! I’m a lean, mean, clean & fresh machine!
 
Check out the sides, backs and shelves of your cabinets. What are they made of?
Particleboard (Pressed Sawdust) My shelves are sagging or the bottom of my undersink cabinet is swollen.
Fiberboard (Pressed Wood Fibers) It looks like a thick clipboard covered with plastic.
Plywood (Layered Veneers of Wood) My cabinets have the strength to stay attached to the wall!
 
You’ve just taken a shower and hung your towel up. Is it dry within 24 hours? (Once again, we promise this question has a purpose.)

Not Completely (slightly damp) Is that weird?
No (It’s wet) My house is like a sauna.
 
Do your windows have...
Single Pane Glass I can feel the heat coming through!
Double Pane Glass There are definitely two pieces of glass in my windows. My reflection looks twice as good!
 
Feeling a draft? (Check all that apply)
Around the door I don’t even need to turn on a fan. I just catch a breeze around the door.
Around the windows Seriously, I should just leave them open.
Around the light switch plates It’s like a blow dryer for my hands.
At the base moulding where the floor and wall meet My dust-bunnies look like they’re at an all-night disco.
There are no air drafts in my home It’s practically air tight!
