Last week, I had the chance to talk to attendees at the Green California Summit about the state’s energy goals and how the state can achieve them. Obviously, this is a big task. But, Californians – from policy-makers to regulators to citizens concerned about the future – want to do their part.
A pattern quickly emerged. People want to be a part of reducing the amount of energy wasted in California but that they didn’t think there was anything that one person could do to make an impact.
Lucky, there are actions many of us can take – no matter where we live – to lower our energy use and costs.
For example, Californians who have installed spray polyurethane foam (SPF) in their homes have discovered that one small change has big effects.
They know that SPF can substantially reduce energy needs and costs for both residential and commercial buildings. Many new homes and offices throughout the state can lower their energy use and costs by insulating and air sealing with SPF insulation.
The facts below show exactly the effects that SPF can have in California – for the state’s homeowners and the state’s energy efficiency goals.
