Energy Efficiency
Tips

 

LED light bulbs are a great way to save money on your electricity bill. They use up to 75% less energy than old, incandescent bulbs.

*****

Save energy by preventing phantom loads - energy that is used by appliances and electronics even when they are turned off. Plug TV and stereo systems into a power strip and turn off all the peripherals with the flip of one switch.

 

 

AAUW Weatherization Project

 

Thanks to a grant from the American Association of University Women, GCEA offered Energy Efficiency/Weatherization Workshops for Women from autumn 2009 through winter 2010. The purpose of the workshops was to educate women about energy loss in their homes and what measures they could take to increase their homes' energy efficiency.

 

AAUW Workshop-InsulationParticipants learned basic skills and techniques for installing weather-stripping, insulation, and other energy efficiency measures that are proven to lower utility bills.

The workshops were held in local area homes where participants got hands-on experience in learning how to problem solve.

 

GCEA is always looking for members who want to volunteer to hold a workshop in their homes. If you are interested in hosting a workshop, please print the application, fill in the information, and submit to GCEA.
