Farmers shouid crKeck the insulation in ceilîngs and attics of any buildings where such material is in use. Insulations with a minimum resistancy transfer of R28 should be used in the ceilings, while insulation in the walls of farm buildings and residenc- es should be a minimum of R12. Ventilation systems in animal housing buildings shouid also be checked. The ventilation system shouid be tied in wth the overali heatîng system of the build- ings 50 that you capmke sure that you are not p umping purchased heat outdoors. Light buibs shouid be kept dlean and used only 'in necessary areas. A dlean 60 watt bulb for instance is more effective than a dirty 100 watt bulb. Dîmmer light controls couid be installed were pract- ical or instail timer devices to switch lîghts off and on automaticaliy. You should try to localize heat and light if at ail possible. Don't heat or light a whole area when Part wii do. Put up'a curtain to keep heat and light in one section of the building where it is most needed. Reduce heat in farm buildings to the requirements of the animais or birds involved. Many farmers are over-heating buildings for personal com- fort and this may not be the best for the animais that are in the buildings. For dairy cattie, temperatures of 7 C. or 45 F. are sufficient without causing any adverse effeets. Farmers should use proper wiring in their buildings. 10 per cent of the p roduction of an electrical device can be lost through too smail a wiring or inadequate wîring facilities. Check< the accuracy and location of any thermo- states, make sure the thermo- stat is located where it wil not be unduly affected by a near-by animal, and use a thermometer to check the accuracy periodicaily. Make sure taps are not dripping hot water, one drîp of hot water per second can mean 1975 gallons of water are wasted each month. Although some of these energy saving ideas may mean spending more money inîtialiy, they wiil result in substantial savings in the near future, and greater savings in the years to come on your farm operation.
