Researchers at CANMET, the Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology, a division of Energy Mines and Resources Ca. nada (EMR), have developed, and are currently working on, a vari. et y of new heating system which will drastically improve energy efficiency. These new technolo. glen” are, or will shortly be, avail. abe to consumers. While researchers are develop mg new heating systems, they also recognize the need for retro fit or modifkation packages that can be installed on conventional furnaces. These retmfit packages are cheaper to buy and to install than a new heating system but they offer almost the some fuel savings and carbon dioxide reduc- Mons Modicatlons for Oil Furnaces A change in an oil we burner from a conventional type to am: advanced flame retention Did you know that commercial and residential space and water heating is responsible for 20 per cent of Canada's carbon dioxide emissions? This clearly indicates that any improvement in existing heating systems translates into signirieartt reductions in the amount of carbon dioxide pro. duced. With the dollar being mulled to its limit, this my not he the year to consider' pinch-m a new furnace. Nonetheleae, there are a number of simple inexpensive steps that can be taken to lower your fuel biiUbraontehttts26to 45 per cent. As importantly, when operating your furnace any steps taken to conserve enemy" translate dimes ly into reduction in carbon diox- ide pollution. Carbon dioxide la created when fuela such as gas and oil are burned, and is one of the main pollutants that contri- butes to global warming or the greenhouse effect. Improving the tgNiency of your current furnace makes you a two fold winner: you’ll save money, and youll be helping the environ- ment.
