Consider upgrading your home’s heating and/or cooling system to a high-efficiency heat pump.

If your company is adding infrastructure, encourage those in charge of planning it to consider a heat pump alternative to conventional HVAC.

High-efficiency heat pumps save energy by efficiently transferring heat, thereby lowering energy bills.

Heat pumps also can improve air quality by reducing the use of fuels such as wood, propane, and oil that emit particulate matter and black carbon when burned.

If your campus or community is growing, encourage decision-makers to consider district heating.

If your campus or community uses district heating, encourage decision-makers to shift the energy source toward renewables.

District heating can reduce air pollution in urban areas.

Audit your home’s energy efficiency and add insulation as indicated.

Find out who makes decisions about maintaining the building(s) associated with your work. Encourage them to look into opportunities to improve energy efficiency.

Insulation reduces energy bills.
