Default Re: Importance of Energy Conservation

Energy Conservation is unquestionably of great importance to all of us,
since we rely on energy for everything we do every single day. Energy
supplies are limited and to maintain a good quality of life, we must find ways
to use energy wisely.

Embrace energy conservation by making small changes that will lead to a
significant difference in our overall energy consumption

Here I am telling you some useful tips for Conserving Energy:

-Turn off air conditioning systems in unoccupied rooms and try to keep the
room cool by keeping the curtains.

-Turn off the lights when leaving the rooms and use dim lights in galleries,
lobbies, balconies and bathrooms.

-Make maximum use of sunlight during the day. Drapes or curtains on
windows & doors are to be drawn apart during day time, for natural light to
reduce need for electrical lights inside the home.

-Geysers consume the maximum amount of electricity. Use them to heat only
that amount of water that is required. Thermostat can be set to a lower
temperature i.e. 45 to 50 degrees.

-Switch Off Appliances When Not In Use. Never forget to switch off lights,
fans, refrigerators when you are going out for an outing on the weekend.

-Use compact fluorescent bulbs more often as they consume 10% less power
then the normal bulbs.

-Seal off unused rooms. Turn thermostats off and leave vents closed in
unoccupied rooms to save energy.

-Number of electrical lighting points to be reduced to one per room, in side
the flats.

-Unplug electronic devices and chargers when they aren’t in use-most new
electronics use electricity even when switched “off.” Turn computers and
printers off at the power strip.

-When purchasing a dishwasher, look for energy saving features such as a
short wash cycle. Shorter washing cycles, with fewer rinses, save water and
water-heating energy.If you have a freezer or second refrigerator that is
nearly empty, turn it off. Use second appliances only when necessary or have
them removed.

-Clean out beneath and behind the fridge every month or so, for better air
flow & cleaning of dust deposits to get better heat transfer.

-Allow hot food to cool off before putting it in the refrigerator.

-Allow foods to partially cool before placing them in the refrigerator. It takes
more energy to cool hot food. For added savings, cover foods and liquids. The
moisture that is released by uncovered containers increases energy use
during the refrigerator’s defrost cycle.

-Turn off your electric range two to three minutes before the end of cooking
time. Retained heat will finish the cooking.
