Reducing energy waste can mean dollars
Reducipg energy waste on th
farm can save producers money
without affecting production, says
.•
Grant' Webber, agriiultural
energy conservation supervisor
for Ontario Hydro.
Mr. Webber suggests the
following steps to help producers,
cut down their hydro bills.
Check insulation in ceilings and
attics. Use insulations with a
minimum resistance to heat
transfer of R28 for ceilings.
Insulation in the walls of farm
buildings and residences should
be a Minimum of R12.
" Check ventilation ystems• in•
animal housing buildings. The
ventilation system should be tied
in with the heating system. Make
sure you are • not pumping
purchased heat —outdoors,
Light only necessary areas.
Keep light bulbs clean. A clean
60-watt bulb is more effective
than a dirty 100-watt bulb:
install • dimmer light Controls
where practical, or install timer
devices to switch lights off and on
automatically.
Localize heat and light. Don't
heat or light a whole area when
part will do. Put up a curtain to
keep heat and light in one section
of the' building.
Reduce, beat in farm-buildings
to the requirements of the
animals or birds. Many farmers
are ,ovetheating' buildings for
personal comfort, -For dairy
cattle, temperatures of 7°C or
45°F are sufficient.
• Use the proper wiring. Ten
percent of the production of an
electrical device can be lost
through• too small wiring.
Check the accuracy aed
location of thermostats. Make
sure the thermostat is located
where it will not be unduly
affected by a nearby' animal. Use
a. thermometer td check the
accuracy of the thermostat.
Make sure taps are 'not
dripping hot water. One drip of
hot water per second can mean'
11.5 gallons of water are wasted
each' month.
Although some of these energy
saving ideas may mean spending
money now, they will result in
.substantial savings in the near
future and greater savings in the
years to come.,
