Touchstone Energy $avers
In addition to the Light Bulb Energy Saver-an animated savings calculator that promotes the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs-the Touchstone Energy $avers Web site features a Kids Energy Zone, which teaches younger co-op members about electricity, saving energy, safety, renewable energy and more. The site contains stories, games, coloring books and links to Touchstone Energy resources. While the focus is on fun and games, the site provides kids with ways they can help their parents save money on their electric bills and create a more energy-efficient home. The site also includes a Virtual House Tour, which takes users through each room in a typical home, providing tips along the way on simple ways to save energy. For example, a stop in the virtual home's bedroom can show you how to keep vents clear and clean, use Energy Star appliances, turn off lights when possible and use compact fluorescent light bulbs. The virtual home's living room helps you to use power strips as a central "turn-off" point for appliances, close drapes in the summer to help keep the house cool, and close the fireplace damper when not in use. The new Water Heater Energy Saver features a virtual battle between an electric and gas water heater. The victory of the energy-efficient electric water heater is an entertaining way to promote the overall benefits of using an electric water heater. The tool also links you to additional resources and tips for ensuring an electric water heater is as energy-efficient as possible. Note: Choptank Electric does not offer the "Touchstone Energy Home Program" at the present time.
