Barna Szabados

Fueling your home for less

Everyone would like to save money on their energy bill, but consumers are sometimes at a loss at how to best manage their fuel consumption.

Professor Barna Szabados will take a look at Ontario's current energy situation by discussing the new deregulated marketplace and how consumers can be less greedy about power.

He'll also take a look at environmental issues and examine alternate energy sources -- are they a myth or a viable reality? What do other countries do?

Professor Szabados will provide simple, practical and innovative tips that will save money and pay a reward to consumers who want to fuel their home for less and help ensure that Ontario does not have yet another energy crisis.

Barna Szabados has been a trailblazer in the field of energy conservation throughout his career. A professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at McMaster since 1980, he garnered the Best Teacher award for the Faculty of Engineering in 1982.

Professor Szabados holds numerous patents and in November of 1998, Szabados and three of his colleagues discovered the process to dim fluorescent light bulbs. It's estimated that savings in energy from the dimming device will save billions of dollars and also reduce pollution dramatically.
