Save More Money! Household Energy Conservation Made Easy

Fathom the variation in residential electricity consumption just within Berkeley (from less than $2 to more than $200/month!), and learn how you can migrate toward the low end without spending (very much) money. Why does usage vary so much? What are simple, painless steps to reduce both gas and electricity consumption? This class will cover do-it-yourself insulation, weatherization and metering, plus discussion of appliance use, and standby power along with examples of low- and no-cost solutions. This lecture, incidentally, also covers RECO measures required by the City of Berkeley. A must for new homeowners and Real Estate agents. Speakers: Reuben Deumling, Berkeley Energy Commission; and Alice La Pierre,, City of Berkeley Energy Analyst
