Energy Efficiency Starts at Home
Caledonia Construction is the local leader in the supply and installation of energy
efficient replacement windows. “A goal for our company is to make energy efficiency
household words in our market place,”
David Allen, President, Caledonia Construction
For the next few decades, energy efficiency is one of the lowest cost options for
reducing US carbon emissions.
Many studies have concluded that energy efficiency can save both energy and money.
For example, a recent McKinsey report calculated the potential savings assuming a 7%
discount rate, no price on carbon and using only “net present value positive”
investments. It found the potential to reduce consumer demand by about 23% by 2020
and reduce GHG (Green House Gas) emissions by 1.1 gigatons each year – at a net
savings of US $680 billion.
Likewise, the National Academies found in 2009 that accelerated deployment of costeffective
technologies in buildings could reduce energy use by 25-30% in 2030. The
report stated: “Many building efficiency technologies represent attractive investment
opportunities with a payback period of two to three years.”
Steven Chu, U.S., Secretary of Energy
Improving the efficiency of buildings, which account for 40 percent of national energy
use, is truly a priority for Caledonia Construction.
With the $1,500 dollar Federal Tax Credit ending on December 31 2010, now is the
time to replace your drafty windows.
