NHSSF recognizes Energy Efficiency Day.
The City of Miami will join other cities across the nation along with the U.S. Green Building Council for Energy Efficiency Day. This day recognizes how energy efficiency is improving the quality of life, the local economy and the improvement of our environment. NHSSF has worked with an initiative with HBCUs to expand energy efficiency measures and solar technologies to African American communities. For all of us there are many simple steps we can take to use resources wisely.
Here are some tips below.
On Wednesday, October 2, the City of Miami, along with other cities across the nation, will join the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for Energy Efficiency Day. This day is an opportunity to recognize how energy efficiency is improving quality of life, economies and the environment. With the City of Miami participating in the LEED for Cities and Communities program, Miami has made it a priority to contribute to energy efficiency efforts.
Below, find a few tips on how you can make your home more energy efficient:
-Replace all incandescent lightbulbs with CFL bulbs or LEDs.
-Install low-flow fixtures to sinks, showers, and toilets.
-Check for drafts. Improve insulation by caulking cracks in walls and around windows, use a seal or draft stopper on doors and windows, and reduce heat exchange through window panes with insulation film.
-Cover windows and close blinds during the day to reduce heat entering your home.
The City of Miami looks forward to residents participating in Energy Efficiency Day on October 2.
