Therefore, utilizing energy-efficient devices will help them save on monthly bills. Below are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ductless AC \u2013 moves cool or warm air without using ductwork. For efficiency, try using a heat pump with at least a 10 HSPF rating.<\/li>\n<li>Fans \u2013 circulating fans, such as whole-house fans, oscillating fans, and ceiling fans, can cool your office or home without consuming much energy. Don\u2019t forget to turn off fans when not in use. For an energy-efficient fan, look for ones that are rated by ENERGY STAR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Renewable Energy<\/h3>\n<p>Investing your money in renewable energy solutions at home or work reduces energy bills and carbon footprint. Below are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solar PV (Photovoltaic) \u2013 PV systems convert the sun\u2019s energy into electricity. These systems are generally connected to utility-provided services. Others have battery storage that is capable of running without a utility connection. For efficiency, install PV systems with a minimum of 75% TSRF (Total Solar Resource Fraction).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Solar Heating \u2013 water heating devices use rooftop solar to raise water temperature. It is connected to a storage tank heater, making hot water available all the time. If you seek efficiency, your system must have at least 75% TSRF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Other Equipment<\/h3>\n<p>Other energy-saving devices, such as electric vehicles, appliances, and windows, can reduce your energy expenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most effective way to begin with energy-saving changes is to support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solwest.org\/renewable-energy\/renewable-energy-assessment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">renewable energy<\/a> through investments or install energy-efficient equipment at work and home.<br \>\nHeating or Cooling<br \>\nFor businesses and homes, a considerable amount of their energy expenditure is from heating or cooling.
