Energy efficiency is about much more than saving electricity. Indeed, energy-efficient homes and buildings come with many benefits.
For one thing, living in an energy-efficient building can lower your heating bills by more than 50%. Energy-efficient buildings also stay more comfortable and safe during a blackout or disaster.
Thirteen jobs are created for every $1 million invested in energy efficiency. In addition, energy efficiency has a number of direct and indirect health benefits.
The Pembina Institute and The Atmospheric Fund have created a handy infographic outlining the multiple benefits of energy efficient buildings. Learn more at pembina.org/efficiency.
