The powerWISE
House is your one-stop online tool for home conservation tips
and energy saving hints, with over 20 power saving and
conservation techniques that highlight how you can significantly
reduce your own home electricity use. Explore the house room by
room to see how some of the simplest changes can substantially
reduce your electrical bill over the course of a year. Just look
for the icon and click to enable the savings.
Once you've enabled the items you would like to add to your
savings, see how the savings add up for a typical Ontario
household. Finally select 'See Impact Province Wide' to understand
how your chosen conservation techniques extended across all, or a
portion, of the households across Ontario, would help reduce
overall energy consumption in the Province.
*Please note, since the powerWISE site is
focused on electricity conservation and the majority of households
in Ontario are not heated with electricity, the application does
not currently feature home heating related savings. However energy
use for home heating is substantial. For home heating related
conservation technique a number of other useful resources are
available online: http://conservationbureau.on.ca http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca http://www.energy.gov.on.ca
