Energy is used to power computers, TVs, fans and most electrical appliances. Essentially, everything we plug into the wall uses energy. We also use energy for cooking and other everyday tasks. Can you imagine what life would be like without easy access to energy in our buildings, homes and schools? We need the ability
Every home collects solar energy. Sunlight falls on the house, some passing through windows and skylights where it is absorbed by roof and walls. Sunlight can help to heat a house in cold weather, but it can overheat the house in warm weather. In Building a Passive Solar Home students design a home to take advantage
Myth 1: It’s more efficient to leave a room at a constant temperature than turning the heat down overnight (or when you’re not home) Fact 1: It takes less energy to warm up a cold room in the morning than it does to maintain a constant temperature throughout the night. If you have baseboard
Hydrogen (H2) is a gas, and like electricity, it's an energy carrier. Hydrogen doesn't emit any greenhouse gas emissions when it is used. However, hydrogen is also like electricity in that for it to be zero-emitting, it must be produced using clean energy. Visit Webpage
We all want a cleaner, greener future for our province—and that's why transitioning to renewable energy is our priority. It's a journey we've been on for over 15 years. Now, we're working towards 80% renewable energy by 2030 and phasing out coal. That means when you plug in your appliances, heat your home using
Natural gas is the modern, smart, and clean solution for your home energy needs. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of natural gas and improve your home’s energy efficiency. Visit Webpage
Small Modular Reactors (SMR) produce carbon-free energy and can be scaled to power everything from industries and remote communities to cities and provinces. Ontario’s nuclear know-how is helping lead the way for this real solution to climate change. Watch Video
Heat pumps will heat, cool and dehumidify your home, keeping you perfectly comfortable year-round. They’ll also save money and energy as they’re much more efficient than traditional heating methods, and twice as efficient as traditional oil systems. Watch Video
Green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will clean the gas grid and help Nova Scotia achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. An Integrated Energy System that links a cleaner gas grid with a cleaner electric grid will address some of our biggest future energy challenges and provide resilient, net-zero energy for Nova Scotians.
