Digital Home Energy Labels Now Available in Edmonton and Calgary through Lightspark Engage, Helping Homeowners Assess Their Home’s Energy Efficiency
With Lightspark Engage, digital home energy labels are displayed on an interactive map so homeowners can easily compare the energy performance of different homes and understand the potential upgrades and retrofits that can be done to improve their home’s performance.
Nonprofits, Using Building-Scale Carbon Capture Technology, Reduce Energy Costs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
CarbinX™ units capture carbon dioxide emissions from building heating systems and turn them into non-toxic pearl ash (potassium carbonate). The heat from the exhaust, as well as the exothermic reaction within the unit is recovered and used, resulting in lower natural gas consumption.
Better Data and Financing Tools Can Remove Barriers to Retrofit Action
Cost-effective, user-friendly digital process gives building owners new insights into emissions reduction potential.
Groups leading climate solutions in Calgary and Edmonton receive funds to advance new approaches
An interesting mix of charities and nonprofits will receive over $920,000 in grants for 11 initiatives in Calgary and Edmonton that collectively contribute to reducing urban GHG emissions.
