To help Whitby resi- dents lower heating costs and conserve ener- gy in their bornes, the Ontario Ministry of Energy is offering free Heat Save clinics at the Whitby Mail from Jan. 19 to Jan. 29. The clinics feature a scientific "lheat loss detector'" known as tbermograpby. On Nov. 17, 1982, an airplane flew over Wbitby and recorded beat loss in typical Wbitby homes witb infrared scanners. The scanners produce temperature maps indi- cating areas of high and low beat loss. The scan- ners measure bow much heat is emitted from the rooftops of buildings.

For an accurate ana- lysis, bomeowners are advised to bring esti- mates of the square footage of beated floor area in their homes, and an estimate of the beat- ing cost for the last year.
