Things are brightening up at the Fire Hall! LED high bay lighting that won't need to be changed for 20 years and state of the art led office panels for the rest of the building. The panels being installed in the offices and classroom are a solid LED panel approx. 1" thick that pops right into any suspended ceiling. These panels are also fully dimmable. If you have incandescent lights anywhere other than your oven bulb you're doing it wrong because energy efficient LED's are the way of the future.
Every dollar saved on electricity is another dollar that can be spent on keeping the community safe, way to go Dauphin Fire Department!

It was a big day Friday for City Hall and the Community Energy Plan. As part of the ongoing effort to become more energy efficient, technicians were busy upgrading all of the lighting with LED's and switches with activation sensors. At the same time a feasibility study of the heating and cooling system was underway to determine how to reduce operating costs while improving performance and comfort. The City of Dauphin is committed to leading the way in becoming more energy efficient. Follow this page to keep informed of events and initiatives of the Community Energy Plan.

Currently there is an incentive through Power Smart to offset the cost of equipment and installation of solar PV systems. Additionally, Manitoba Hydro offers financing on solar systems and the response has been overwhelming as Manitoba is ideal for solar generation. Solar PV technology has improved drastically in the last 5 years and the costs have been steadily declining. Manitobans are investing in solar for homes, businesses and farms in increasing numbers. The presentation will answer any questions about the equipment and all the related costs and incentives. Please take advantage of this opportunity to get firsthand information without having to leave Dauphin.
This presentation is one of the ongoing initiatives of Dauphin's Community Energy Plan. Hope to see you there!
