UW professors Dr. Paul Parker, Dr. Ian Rowlands and Dr. Daniel Scott have reviewed the responses from 500 surveys completed by Waterloo Region residents who had a home energy evaluation â€" through â€" the Residential Energy Efficiency Project (REEP). "Our findings indicate that Waterloo Region resiâ€" dents are willing to take action to reduce energy conâ€" sumption. They are also looking _ for _ innovative responses on the part of govâ€" ernments and businesses to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy in the region," says Dr. lan Rowlands. Over 90 per cent of respondents felt that govâ€" ernments _ should _ have stronger energy efficiency standards for new homes. Moreover, approximately 75 per cent of respondents felt that the EnerGuide for Houses home energy evaluâ€" ation (what is being used for REEP) should be made mandatory for real estate full disclosure requirements.

Technical findings of the project indicate that the average home in Waterloo Region could reduce energy consumption by approxiâ€" mately 20 per cent. More energy efficient homes will help reduce impacts to the atmosphere by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming, and reducing other pollutants that contribute to poor air quality. REEP has been evaluatâ€" ing homes for their energy efficiency _ in _ Waterloo Region since May 1999 and has visited over 1,400 homes. Hundreds of residents have made appointments for the fall, filling the schedâ€" ule and requiring REEP to look into expanding the number of nationally certiâ€" fied home energy evaluators currently working on the project. "Interest from the public has been phenomenal," says Erin Copeland, a UW enviâ€" ronmental studies student who is running the office this semester. "Interest from the public has been phenomenal," â€"Erin Copeland UW environmental studies Rising energy costs and broad support from local governments and utilities have helped to keep the phone ringing. The result has been that the fall schedâ€" ule has filled up and new inquiries are being placed on a priority waiting list. "We‘re encouraging peoâ€" ple to come to our open houses to speak to the evaluâ€" ators about home energy efficiency and see what the research findings are," says Copeland.

Wednesday Sept. 27 at Kitchener â€" public library (Queen Street location} from 6â€"9 p.m. and at Cambridge public library (20 Grand Ave. N.) from 6â€"8:30 p.m. Summaries of home energy profiles will be displayed so homeowners can see what problems are typical of homes built in certain eras and what recommended actions would be. There will also be information about Green Energy, electricity deâ€" regulation and other energy issues. REEP is a joint project of the Faculty of Environmental Studies at the University of Waterloo and the Elora Centre for Environmental Excellence, and has received significant funding from the federal government‘s Climate Change Action Fund. The cities of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and local utilities including Union Gas have each endorsed and supportâ€" ed the project with financial contributions.
