Old Dominion’s above-average natural gas prices, great incentives, and mild winters make it a natural fit for solar panels. Factor in the federal solar tax credit, and Virginians can cut the cost of solar by thousands of dollars, speeding up your payback period and increasing the value of...
LCA is a method to assess the potential environmental impacts of goods and services taking into account their whole-life cycle. It considers all inputs and outputs in terms of energy, raw materials, emissions, residues, etc. at each stage along the life cycle of a given product and assesses...
In addition to updating the zero profit condition for residential heating supply in the CGE model, we account for the impact of households’ investments in boiler technology and energy efficiency retrofits. This is done by adjusting the disposable income of the representative household in the CGE ...
local energy dollars also go to Western Canada (oil, natural gas) and elsewhere in Ontario (centralized electricity generation). Transportation accounts for 40% of costs. The residential sector and the greenhouse sector account for 27% and 15% of costs, respectively. The Regional Energy Plan will...
