In the warmer months of August, when energy use typically peaks, we encourage everyone to think about powering down and becoming more energy-efficient. This initiative is not only about upgrading your home with better technology but also about adopting simple, everyday habits that contribute to significant energy savings.
Canada ranks as one of the top per-capita energy consumers worldwide. In Barrie, residential buildings are the second-highest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for about 27% of the total emissions. By choosing to power down, you’re not just cutting costs—you’re actively reducing your environmental impact.
Digital technology, while essential, contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions—about 3.7% according to recent studies. By adjusting power settings on your digital devices, using energy-efficient monitors, and promoting smarter usage patterns, you can minimize your digital environmental impact.
Conduct a home energy audit to identify key areas where you can improve efficiency and join us in reducing our collective energy consumption.
