Study to reduce
farm energy use
studies will be conducted to
compare the actual with.the rated
performance of ventilation fans.
• Based on the results of the
inyestigation. Profs r
Theakston expects to produce'
guidelines for farm operators on
optimum' ventilation and heating
systems' The results will also
form the basis of suggestions to
operators on how to upgrade
existing facilities at minimuim
capital cost. The report is
expected to „ be completed in
April, 1976.
The energy study on farm
buildings and ventilation systems
is one of several energy reserach,
projects being conducted by the
Ministries of Agriculture and
Food and. Energy under the
Energy Management Program.
The basic objective of the EMP
i's to assist all sectors'of Ontario's
economy in implementing .ste.,tter
energy management techniques
and to moderate, by one-third,
the increasing rate of growth in
energy' consumption.By 1980,.
EMP officials are 'looking for a $1
billion redurtion,per year in total'
energy expenditure in all sectors
of the provinee's economy.
