To date, the largest amount of electricity on Earth is made from non -renewable sources (oil, gas, rock and brown coal).This fossil reserve is unlimited, so the future electricity can be expected to rise, unless scientists develop a new and very effective way to use the potential of non -traditional energy sources (sun, wind, heat, and treat).
Electrical savings by optimizing its use
First and foremost, you should consider whether in some cases it is possible to fully abandon the use of electrical equipment or reduce their operating time.You need to pay attention to the following:
- If possible, use day day, to increase the maximum lighting of the room.Regularly wash the windows, the curtains raised, open curtains will allow you to turn on the lighting later, which will overall significant savings for a month.In addition, wallpaper or light paint on the walls and ceilings can return up to 80% of the sun, while in the room it looks lighter than during the repair made in dark colors.
- Lamp light bulbs and especially ceilings increase device light output by 10-15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open plafon, you can control the light bulb.
- It is advisable to buy the upper chandelier with the possibility that separately turn a part of the bulb.When looking at the television program only, one lamp will be sufficient, and use complete lighting when receiving guests.
- Combined lighting (sconces on walls, floor lamps, desk lamps) not only saves electricity at home, but also ways to create the necessary atmosphere at the required mood (business, romantic, comfortable) for all opportunities.With proper use of local lighting, it can be generalized.
- Light cannot be burned in a room that is not used right now.This habit with certain efforts has been produced by all family members for several months.If no one is left at home or apartment, it is advisable to turn off all powerful devices, except the refrigerator.
- Devices in standby mode do not take so much electricity, but if you remember how many such devices are in the home, it will be clear that most of the energy is spent almost in vain.For example, a regular speaker system in standby mode requires 11 W/h.
- Examining and replacing old wiring will not be excessive in terms of saving and fire safety.The number of tees, adapters and extensions should be minimized, as its use leads to increased network resistance and energy loss to 30%.It is best to install some other sockets when replacing wiring.
How to save electricity using energy absorption technology
Almost all better modern companies produce household appliances or computers fight for energy conservation.In terms of electricity price growth, this gives them competitive advantage.
Users of this device only need to monitor new market offers carefully.
- Buy electrical appliances.It needs to be interested in their energy consumption classes, the most economic devices of Class A, A+, A ++, Classes E, F, G. The difference between class A and G can be doubled.
- However, the acquisition of energy absorption devices is only half the case.It still needs to be handled properly.Therefore, the clogged bag in the vacuum cleaner leads to a 40% electric loss, about the same picture as the refrigerator, which inside it is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
- Apartment or house insulation (replacing windows with metal -plastic, walls with foam or mineral insulation, door compaction, balcony glass and loggia) will better maintain heat.As a result, before the start of the heating season or with inadequate batteries, strong electric heaters can be used less or used to create more comfortable temperatures more air conditioners on heating.
- The easiest way to save electricity is to replace incandescent bulbs with energy absorption.This will require the purchase of a more expensive time (energy -absorption or LED absorption), but their installation pays quickly, sometimes within a year.Luminescent's "economy" uses 5 times less than a normal "Ilyich lamp", and LED - more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lights serve ten times longer.
How to save electricity at home, accurately considering its use
The assistant in this matter may be a device that will provide visual information on the energy used and the possibility of more rational use.
- Two or three electronic meters of E/Energy.Installing it will allow to divide the energy used during the day and at night.Night tariffs are about 30%lower.This is due to the need to unload the electrical network during peak pressure hours and the transfer of parts to a quieter time.Therefore, it is profitable for users with such counters in the future to use a power cost device (boiler, washing machine, iron, dishwasher, bread button, pressure cooker), which can be programmed for use at certain times.The counters must be certified in the electric company supplier.
- Light -regulator (dimmer).The device is installed in the switch and allows it to adjust the brightness of the light.The same light can use dimmer to work for general lighting, to read, watch TV or like night lights.There is also a light regulator with remote control or the possibility of switching from several points.The advantage of dimmers is that they extend the life of the lamp, but they cannot be used with all kinds of lighting devices.
- Relay impulse.It allows you to control lighting from different places in the home, it is easy to use when you turn off all the lighting in the room by pressing one button.
- Movement sensor.They are installed on residential and office premises, as well as on the meter.Turn on and turn off the light in front or absence of movement.
- Household wattmeter.Make it possible to measure the power of each device, frequency and voltage in the network.Using this information, you can take steps to save electricity.
How to save electricity at home
The most powerful devices in the home are fridge and electric kitchen.Usually people have been using the same refrigerator for over 10 years.At the same time, the technology has moved forward at this time that the new refrigerator uses half the energy, so the person, saves the purchase of new devices, has always lost to pay the bills.
- The refrigerator should not be installed near the plate or heating battery, in the angles and less ventilated niches - this will lead to overheating and more frequent participation.For the same reason, it is not recommended to place plates and pots with hot products in the refrigerator, as well as too often or for a long time opening the door.To save money, it is also best to put the device to cool the average mode and regularly shrink it and clean it from snow and ice.
- There is not every home in every home, but where it is, the cost of the electrician is behind it.But here there is an opportunity to save energy.The size of the dish where the food is provided should not be less than the burner used, the bottom should be.The dish covered with lid is prepared 20-30% faster.After boiling water, the burning temperature is best transferred to the low regime - this will not affect the process of preparing the dish, but will reduce the consumption of E/Energy.
- The washing machine operates the most stable at the regulatory load shown in the instructions.The load or incomplete load, as well as the use of improper initial cleaning functions, increased the use of electricians from 10 to 30%.
- Electricity requires regular scale cleaning.Also, do not boil full kettle for the future, enough water to make a cup of tea.
- Turn on the air conditioning only with tight windows and doors, so as not to cool the road, select the device according to the technical features that match the room that needs to be cooled.There is a converter air conditioning model by reducing the electrician by 50%.
These are just part of the tips on how to save electricity.In detail, they can be found in another article in this section.However, we must not forget that the source of savings not only treats their own wallets, but also preserves the environment for children and grandchildren.
Each of the 100 Electric Electric Energy means burning 33 liters of oil, or 48 pounds of coal, or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add to the problem of natural pollution from dangerous emissions, it is clear that the use and savings of electricity is not only the personal question of every user, but also the global problems of all humans.
