Reducing energy waste on the
farm can save producers money
without affecting production, says
Grant Webbek, agricultural
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 systems 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 heat in farm buildings
to the requirements of the
animals or birds. Many fa:rmers
are overheating buildings for
personal comfort. For dairy
cattle, temperatures of 7°C or
45°F are sufficient.
Use the proper wiring. Ten
percent of the productfon of an
electrical device can be lost
through too small wiring.
Check the accuracy and
16Sation of thermostats. Make
sure the thermostat is located
where it will not be unduly
affected by a nearby animal. Use
a thermometer to check the
accuracy of the thermostat.
Make sure taps are not
dripping hot water. One drip of
hot water per second can mean
175 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.
