Energy Reduction
Short Term Energy Saving
Pumphouse
- Turn off lights when not in use to save electricity
- Water during non peak hour times to save costs of electricity.
- Fill the irrigation pond later in the day to save electricity costs.
Maintenance Shop
- Turn off lights when not in use.
- Use air to blow off machines at the end of the day to reduce the amount of water being used.
- Switch to new efficient light bulbs.
Clubhouse
- Turn off lights when not in use to save electricity.
- Switch to new efficient light bulbs.
Electric Cart Charging
- Once carts are at a full charge, unplug them and rotate to the carts that aren't fully charged.
- Charge carts during non peak hour times of the day, during the night.
Long Term Energy Saving
Pumphouse
- Install a VFD if not done so already. This will help to not turn the pumps on all at once and slowly, since turing them on all at once will demand a lot of energy which costs more.
- Install more windows to allow for natural light to fill the building, thus reducing the amount of electricity used.
Maintenance Shop
- Install solar panels to provide electricity to the shop and offices associated with it.
- Use Biodiesel for any diesel machines that may be in the fleet to help reduce emissions. Most machines are now made to accept biodiesel.
- Install more windows to allow for natural light to fill the building, thus reducing the amount of electricity used.
- Use electric mowers or mower reels to save fuel when mowing.
- Motion sensored lights for the entire maintenance facility to save electricity.
Clubhouse
- Install solar panels to provide electricity to the shop and offices associated with it.
- Install more windows to allow for natural light to fill the building, thus reducing the amount of electricity used.
- Have motion sensored lights for the bathrooms.
Electric Cart Charging
- Purchase solar powered golf carts that charge by the sun.
- Install solar panels to charge all of the carts, as the charging station is outside.
