As the year ends, holidays filled with fun and sun rightly become a priority. Energy management should never take a break though. Instead we should all be acting diligently to ensure empty rooms aren’t staying frosty cold in the summer break. Let us show you how…
School term will be ending soon but strangely enough there is still lots of energy that will be used on campus. Some of it on purpose, a lot of it unknowingly wasted. And it’s not only schools; commercial office buildings that become vacant on the many public holidays over the summer will unnecessarily consume untold energy. Save your money instead for presents and celebrations and don’t get a post-holiday budget shock when that electricity bill arrives. Paul Brockbank explains how this month.
If you are one of those people who enjoy the chance over the summer holidays to do a cross word, or read a journal to learn some potentially valuable information and keep developing that grey matter in your head then Paul Malcolm’s article is the read for you this month. It’s a plain language explanation of some energy concepts like power versus energy, and brown outs and black outs.
Finally, for all those on school boards, P&Fs or simply interested parents and staff, Sheena Ong presents a case study of another college where we installed solar this year. Schools have become an area of specialisation for us. We believe so strongly in the value of solar for schools that we will own and operate the solar asset so the schools expend no money upfront but receive power at a guaranteed discount to what they will ever pay for electricity from the grid.
If spending less money on power so more can be spent on education and growing your children into good men and women makes sense please give me a no obligation call before you go on holidays.
My best to you and yours for a peaceful and happy Christmas.
