Besançon help its citizens to save energy

What's good for the planet can also be good for the wallet! As recalled by the Municipality of Besançon, the energy consumption in homes represents 43% of the total energy consumption in France and 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, energy prices are growing exponentially: + 16% for gas and + 10% for electricity directly impacting the average household costs for 2010 alone.

Besançon To help improve their carbon footprint, Besançon decided to help its citizens to reduce their consumption and thus their bills by offering since December 1, a loan service of sophisticated equipment to detect leaks energy housing, measure consumption and electricity costs of equipment and the amount of CO2 emitted.

Those are three thermal imaging cameras, to view the energy losses of a building, and 200 watt meters to measure the power and electricity consumption, which will be available for free.

The material in question will take aware of improvements and will intelligently guide future work in the homes to rectify this and secondarily to assist the municipality to meet its commitment to 20% reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions emissions to 2020 made under the European Convention of Mayors .

Specifically, loans are made with the Department of Energy Conservation Technology Centre Municipal . They are made over a period of two days for the cameras, and 7 days for the meters. Simply bring a piece identity valid, a recent proof of residence (EDF or telephone receipts, etc. ...) and a security deposit of 50 € for the loan of a power meter and 800 € for the loan of a thermal imaging camera.

Once the measurements, the direction of energy conservation will analyze the results obtained and guide those who wish to professionals able to perform work necessary to save energy.
