The Department of Energy has a useful Insulation Fact Sheet: You Must Prevent Moisture Accumulation. Information includes ways to avoid moisture problems and six things one should consider. This information is helpful to those of us who are looking for other ways to reduce moisture in areas in our homes that are "always moist," thereby reducing our use of a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier that cycles 50% instead of running constantly lowers our CO2 emissions by half. |

Participate in an aggregate purchase if green pricing is not available to you. For answers to some common questions on Renewable Energy Certificates, also known as Green Tags, Download PDF or Download Word Briefly, one renewable energy certificate (also known as a green tag) represents the environmental benefits resulting from the generation of 1,000 kilowatt hours of renewable energy. Until green pricing is available throughout the state, participating in an aggregate purchase of renewable energy certificates provides us with an opportunity to offset the impact of our personal energy consumption and support the production of renewable energy, one of the solutions to climate change. By purchasing renewable energy certificates, we will be providing an added incentive for more renewables to be integrated into the energy system. A minimum threshold of 1,000 tags is required when purchasing green tags. A tag costs $2.50 through an aggregate purchase. A typical family would need to purchase 12 tags a year to offset the impact of its home energy use. By participating in an aggregate purchase, groups, families, and individuals can decide whether or not to offset the impact of their total personal energy use. In addition, each can purchase what each can afford. PSN will organize and monitor the aggregate purchase. For more information contact PCSN at 701-647-2532. |
