It means you cut down on cooling costs in summer and heating costs in winter. It is not worth warming or cooling an empty space.

Room Dividers
In case you are worried about the lesser number of rooms in your new smaller house, you can use room dividers. Room dividers not only make two rooms out of one, but also are a smart choice for decoration. If chosen well, they add to the beauty of the place.
