Sackville Public Library has a new resource to help people make their homes more energy efficient.
The library now has five new energy efficiency kits now available to borrow from public libraries in the region put together by EOS Eco Energy.
The kits are designed to help households learn where they could be wasting energy. It includes simple tools like a shower timer, thermometer, and lightweight New Brunswick flag to be used to check for drafts at windows and doors. There are also some tools which are harder to come by, such as a kilowatt meter and a heat imaging camera to find cold spots in walls and ceilings.
Cormier says the kits come with instructions for how to use all the tools, and are meant to be accessible. “Nothing like you have to take a course on,” says Cormier. “They’re all very easy, user friendly, and accessible items.”
CHMA stopped by the library to find out more about the project.
