Code Green TV - Cool Idea For A Show

If you aren’t camera shy, you’re a homeowner in Lower Mainland British Columbia and interested in reducing your home energy consumption, CBC wants to put you on tv.

This new television program, called Code Green, will feature 4 homeowners competing to renovate their homes in an effort to reduce energy consumption and green house gas emissions.

The homeowners will receive $15,000 to be spent on new furnaces, lighting fixtures, appliances, insulation, windows, or any other means they view as the best way to win the challenge. Each participant will receive expert advice as to how their homes currently consume energy and will then be given suggestions on what changes they can make to decrease consumption.

Once the retrofits are completed, each home will have its energy usage re-measured and the family who reduces the most consumption wins a brand new hybrid car.
