Dedicated to promoting responsible energy consumption, the World Energy Efficiency Day was established in 1998 at the International Meeting on Energy Efficiency in Austria. World Energy Efficiency Day provides an opportunity to spread awareness on reducing unnecessary waste, supporting production processes through renewable sources, and encouraging communities worldwide to set an example with sustainable habits and meaningful recycling of resources.
Here are practical actions that can be incorporated into our daily lives to promote energy efficiency:
Disconnect electrical appliances and chargers that are not in use.
Turn off lights that are not necessary – use natural light!
Purchase appliances with energy efficient features.
Set computers to energy saving mode.
Walk, ride a bicycle, or use public transportation.
Share your ideas and learn from others!
On March 5th Energy@Work will be a guest speaker in Professor Raghad Kamel's Energy Accounting class at Seneca Polytechnic. We look forward to joining the class to share with students what we do in our E-MAPs, explain their impact in real-world projects, showcase RETScreen and the diverse tools we use every day.
