lighting options like LED bulbs and fixtures. These lights use up to 75%
less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last longer.
3. Energy Audits: Energy audits will be conducted to identify areas where
energy is being wasted. The community can take steps to reduce energy
waste, such as adding insulation, sealing air leaks, and upgrading to more
energy efficient-efficient appliances.
4. Education and Outreach: The community will conduct education and
outreach programs to promote energy conservation practices among its
residents. This will include workshops, seminars, and other events that
promote energy-saving practices like turning off lights when not in use,
unplugging electronics when not in use, and adjusting thermostat settings.
II. COMMUNITY PROFILE
Barangay Tabangao, Batangas City
Barangay Tabangao is a coastal barangay located in Batangas City, with a
population of approximately 10,000 residents. The economy of the barangay primarily
relies on fishing, with some small businesses and cottage industries also present. The
infrastructure of the barangay includes basic utilities such as water and electricity, but
there is a need for more sustainable and efficient energy sources. The implementation
of the WindWorks: Powering a Sustainable Community plan in Barangay Tabangao is
crucial in addressing the energy needs of the community. The use of wind turbines can
provide clean and renewable energy to power homes, businesses, and other public
buildings, reducing the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The installation of
wind turbines in strategic locations within the barangay can harness the potential of
wind energy to produce clean electricity. Additionally, the plan includes energy-efficient
lighting and conducting energy audits to identify areas where energy is being wasted.
These practices can contribute to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions, creating a more sustainable community. Through education and outreach
programs, residents can be informed and encouraged to adopt energy conservation
practices, promoting a culture of sustainability within the barangay.

III. PLAN / PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION
WindWorks: Powering a Sustainable Community is a community energy plan
designed to reduce energy consumption, harness the potential of wind energy, and
promote sustainable living in Barangay Tabangao, Batangas City. This plan aims to
address the increasing demand for energy and the environmental issues caused by
traditional energy sources. By implementing energy-saving practices such as installing
wind turbines, switching to energy-efficient lighting, conducting energy audits, and
promoting education and outreach programs, the community can reduce its energy
consumption, promote renewable energy sources, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. WindWorks is a forward-thinking program that prioritizes sustainability and
the well-being of the community, and it is a crucial step towards a cleaner, greener, and
more sustainable future for Barangay Tabangao.

DEVELOPMENT
The "WindWorks: Powering a Sustainable Community" program for Barangay
Tabangao in Batangas City was developed through a collaborative effort between
community members, local government officials, and renewable energy experts. The
process began with a comprehensive assessment of the community's energy needs,
consumption patterns, and potential renewable energy sources. Community meetings,
consultations, and surveys were held to gather input and feedback, while renewable
energy experts evaluated the feasibility of implementing wind power. The program's
objectives and energy-saving practices were identified based on the findings and
feedback gathered, and a plan was formulated to reduce energy consumption, increase
the use of renewable energy, and educate and engage the community on sustainable
practices. The WindWorks energy plan was developed with the goal of creating a more
sustainable and resilient community, reducing the community's reliance on non-
renewable energy sources, and mitigating the impact of climate change on the local
environment.

IMPLEMENTATION
The implementation of the WindWorks program will be managed by a dedicated
team composed of local community leaders, energy experts, and project managers.
This team will oversee the installation and maintenance of wind turbines, conduct
energy audits, and lead educational outreach efforts to promote energy conservation
practices. The team will also work closely with local government officials and other
stakeholders to ensure the success and sustainability of the program.
