Energy Efficient Future
What Does Energy Efficiency Look Like at Home?
It doesn’t have to be complicated! Energy efficiency can be as simple as shifting a few of our daily habits or introducing small, but impactful, upgrades to our homes.
Green Calgary and ENMAX are excited to present a free community workshop to help you understand your home energy use and take steps towards energy efficiency.
During the 60-minute workshop, we will guide you through creating a custom action plan to:
- Create a more energy efficient home
- Reduce your impact on climate change
- Better understand your utility bill
This program is made possible through the generous support of ENMAX.
Workshops are available at no cost for community groups and associations in Calgary.
Contact our team today for more information or to book a free workshop for your community!
