www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 4, 2006 - 7 Everyone can help use power wisely Continued from page 5 sary. In these circumstances, no additional public notice may be possible. The IESO is responsible for managing Ontario's bulk electricity system and operating the wholesale electricity market. For more information, visit www.ieso.ca. According to the IESO, consumers and businesses can reduce demand on the electricity system by curtailing their use of electricity. Examples include: ·Turning off all but essential internal and external lights; · Setting air conditioners to 26 degrees Celsius or higher, or using fans as an alternative; ·Closing curtains and blinds to keep out the sun and retaining cooler air inside; ·Avoiding or limiting the use of major power-consuming equipment such as dishwashers, washers and dryers and swimming pool pumps between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Ordinarily, utilities depend on what is known as "diversity," or the staggered use of appliances. The more that stay on-cycle, the less diversity and the higher power consumption at a single given time. The hotter it gets the more diversity is lost across the whole town. It is suggested that people leave their thermostat at a moderate setting (especially when they leave home for work), but not boost it to freezing when they return. Homeowners should also keep the filters in their furnace clean in order to maintain unobstructed airflow over the coils. Keeping all mechanical parts well-maintained is also essential. If need be, a hose can be used to clean the external air conditioning unit to also keep air moving freely. Shops urged to help out in heat wave The Town of Oakville is encouraging businesses located in the downtown Oakville, Kerr Street and Bronte areas to participate in the provincial Doors Closed campaign to reduce energy consumption. To that end, store owners are being urged to conserve electricity by not opening windows and doors during the summer heat.
