Please join us in the NACA Room (IESB, B2102) on Monday, October 30th from 12pm-1pm for a lunch and learn opportunity in recognition of Energy Action Month!
LaRC’s own Dr. Bruce Wielicki will be presenting a case study on his own efforts to reduce energy consumption in his home.
Drop Your Home Energy Bills by 60%. A Case Study.
“As a climate scientist, I was shocked to find in 2006 that the energy efficiency of my home was surprisingly low. Currently the same home uses only 40% of the energy used in 2006, and saves $2000 per year at current energy prices. The time for payback on investments was roughly 5 years. How did this magic occur?”
This must-see presentation will give a summary of what changes were made, discuss the cost/benefit of each, and provide a roadmap for others to use in evaluating and if needed, improving the energy efficiency of their home.
