Improving how efficiently a municipality uses energy plays a big role in ensuring that power demands can be met with renewable sources. Buildings are one such opportunity, as they are responsible for a large proportion of energy use. Developing targets and strategies, demonstrating energy retrofits in municipal buildings, and incentivizing energy retrofits elsewhere are just a few examples of how buildings can be adapted to save energy. These approaches can deliver additional benefits by helping residents save money and creating healthier homes and workplaces. Consider companies like Enviro-Experts to have a professional energy audit done for municipal buildings. Another approach to improving energy efficiency is through updating technology or management practices for streetlights. By switching to LED lights, dimming controls and electrodeless induction lights, and following best practices to control light activity, you can significantly reduce consumption while saving money.
