One way to identify common air leaks you may have in your home is to inspect the condition of the seal around each window and door frame. If you have older windows, it would be beneficial to consider replacing with multi pane, insulated windows. There are many products available to seal these potential air leaks off to reduce the exchange of air you have heated or cooled from the uncontrolled outside temperatures and humidity.
Inspect areas such as seems around utilities such as electrical, phone, cable etc. to ensure you have a good seal intact.

I find your insight beneficial for those who are trying to save money and help with "green" conservation. Something I found to help with air sealing is whats called a Blower Door Test. This is where a company puts a blower in the main door and test for pressure changes in all rooms. Pretty neat test to the extreme.
