Tips & Information
The Domestic Sector accounts for 30% of total energy consumption in the country. There is a tremendous scope to conserve energy by adopting simple measures. Turn things off when you are not in the room such as lights, TVs, entertainment systems, and your computer and monitor Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use—TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F Take short showers instead of baths and use low-flow showerheads for additional energy savings. Change your air conditioner filters as recommended - your unit will work more efficiently Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination Avoid dry grinding in your food processors ( mixers and grinders) as it takes longer time than liquid grinding |
