Energy saving in everyday life: 38 ways

Energy saving method in everyday life

The most difficult problem in saving energy resources is to start with yourself.As the energy consumption practices show that, saving with the help of yourself reasonable and the insulation of the house can be a very good amount: up to half of the money to pay utilities.

Anyone who has learned how to save electricity, water, heat, and gas in their apartments better understand the needs of energy conservation in an apartment building and at work.

Let's give an example with water consumption.For example, there are three criteria in the city to use water.The minimum hygiene standards of water consumption for natural needs and maintain purity - 30 liters per day.For residents that use the columns repaired on the street, a 50 -liter water supply standard per day.For residents living in multi -base buildings with hot and cold water, the standard of 420 liters of water per day.

Water price has increased and a wave of water meter installation in apartments swept around the city.After installing the counters, people start limiting themselves without changing their daily habits.Therefore, the water consumption is 100-110 liters per day.The return of meter installation is 3-6 months.This means that consumers then start paying less than 2-3 times.A certain situation is the standard for almost all cities.

There are many examples of such, and not only with water.At the center of any savings, the will to eliminate the bad habits of trembling and accounting.But talk more about energy conservation methods in everyday life.

Thermal saving

Heating your home is a normal phenomenon.There are several simple insulation:

  1. The crack area in the window and doorway.For this, foam installed, self -expanded sealing tape, silicon and acrylic fillings, etc.Used.As a result, the increase in air temperature in the room is 1-2 degrees.
  2. The seal of the narthex of the window and doors.Different seals and gaskets are used.The window seal is made not only around the circumference, but also between the frames.The result is the increase in the temperature of the room 1-3 degrees.
  3. Install new plastic or wooden windows with double windows placed in double.It will be better if the glass has an increase in heat and the ventilator will be provided in the design of the windows.After that, the room temperature will be more stable in both winter and summer, the air will be fresh and it will not be necessary to open the window periodically, throw a large amount of heat.As a result, the increase in temperature in the room is 2-5 degrees and reduces the level of street noise.
  4. Install the second door at the entrance to the apartment (home).The result is an increase in temperature in the room 1-2 degrees, reducing external noise and gas content.
  5. Install the thermal reaction screen (or aluminum leaf) on the rear wall of the heating heat sink.The result is an increase in temperature in the room 1 degrees.
  6. Try not to close the radiator with dense curtains, screens, furniture - heat will be distributed more effectively in the room.
  7. Close curtains at night.This helps maintain indoor heat.
  8. Replace aluminum cast iron radiator.The heat transfer of these radiators is 40-50%higher.If the radiator is installed, it is convenient to eliminate, which can be washed regularly, which also helps to increase heat transfer.
  9. Light illuminating balconies or loggia is equivalent to installing an additional window.This produces a thermal buffer with an intermediary temperature higher than 10 degrees compared to the streets in a serious frost.

It is not uncommon for a problem that is not lack of heat, but with its redundancy.

Electrical energy saving

  1. Replace conventional incandescent lamps with energy -saving headlights.Their service life is 6 times greater than incandescent lamps, consuming less than 5 times.During operation, the light bulbs pay itself 8-10 times.
  2. Use local lights when there is no common light.
  3. Take it a rule to leave the room to extinguish the light.
  4. Disconnect devices in standby mode for a long time.TV, video recording, music center in waiting mode for energy consumption from 3 to 10 watts.During the year, 4 such devices, the remaining charging devices in the outlet will provide additional energy consumption of 300-400 kW*hours.
  5. Using the technique of energy efficient at least A. Consumption of additional energy for home devices of outdated structures is about 50%.Such household appliances will not be rewarded immediately, but taking into account the growth of energy prices, the effects of savings will be more and more.In addition, such a technique is often more modern and better in characteristics.
  6. Do not install the refrigerator next to the gas stove or heating radiator.This increases the energy consumption of a refrigerator by 20-30%
  7. The refrigerator seal must be clean and fit the body and doors.Even a small distance in the seal increases the energy consumption to 20-30%.
  8. Cooling to room temperature products before placing in the refrigerator.
  9. Do not forget to defrost the refrigerator more often.
  10. Do not close the refrigerator radiator, leaving the distance between the wall of the room and the rear wall of the refrigerator so that it can freely cool.
  11. If you have a electric stove in your kitchen, make sure its burners are not deformed and fit the bottom of hot dishes.This will eliminate excessive consumption of heat and electricity.Do not turn on the stove first and turn off the disk earlier than the level needed for complete cooking.
  12. Boil in the kettle as much as you want to use.
  13. Use light colors when decorating the walls of the apartment.The wall of light, light curtains, clean windows, a reasonable number of colors reduces the cost of light from 10-15%.
  14. Write the readings of the electrical meter and analyze how you can reduce consumption.
  15. In some houses, computers are kept continuously.Turn it off or put it in sleep mode if it does not need its permanent job.With work continuously all day long, the computer consumes 70-120 kW*h per month.If it is necessary to work continuously, it will be more effective for such purposes to use laptops or computers with decreasing energy consumption.

Overall, it is possible to reduce 40-50% of electricity consumption without reducing the quality of life and damage to the habit.

Save water

  1. Install water meter.This will promote to reduce water consumption.
  2. Install the leverage switch on the tap instead of the crane.Save 10-15% water plus the convenience of choosing temperature.
  3. Do not turn on the water with a full stream.In 90% of cases, a small stream is quite enough.Save 4-5 times.
  4. When washing and bathing, turn off the water when not necessary.
  5. The shower takes 10-20 times less water than accepting the bathtub.
  6. Saving significantly saved water by using Hai -A -Reshold water tanks.
  7. It is necessary to carefully check the presence of water leaks from the drainage tank, which occurs due to the old accessories in the tank.Replacing the accessories is coins, and saving water is impressive.Through a thin leak, you can take a few cubic meters of water per month.
  8. Check how the Viking's return is active in hot water.If there is no circulation when serving, then you will be forced to pump water through the neighbors's Riser until you are hot in your apartment.Of course, at the same time, expensive "hot" water is simply unified into the sewer.

Save in the bathroom

  1. Do not let the axis continuously when brushing teeth.Try to turn on it at the beginning and the end of the procedure.You may even buy a liquid to wash the oral cavity.This will allow to save money of teeth with money saved.Save: 15 liters of water per minute (757 liters per week) with 4 family members.
  2. Turn off the tap while shaving.A small bowl will help you wash your razor and save your money.Save for each person: 380 liters per week.
  3. Reduce the time in the bathroom to 5-7 minutes.Save for each person: from 20 liters of water at each receiving.
  4. While bathing, it is not necessary to leave the water continuously.Use the maximum pressure in the moment of washing and washing foam.Save for each person: up to 20 liters of water at each reception.
  5. Fill the bathtub 50 - 60%.Save for each person: up to 20 liters of water at each reception of the bath.

Save in the kitchen

  1. With manual sinks of dishes, fill in one of the shells (or other containers) with water mixed with detergent.Then wash, treated with detergent, dishes in another sink under a small pressure of warm water.Save for each person: up to 60 liters of water per day.
  2. Use a dishwasher if possible when it is completely loaded.Save for each person: up to 60 liters of water when used.
  3. Wash vegetables and fruits in water filled with water with a tap.Save for each person: up to 10 liters of water per day.
  4. Do not use water to defrost meat products.You can defrost them by leaving at night in the refrigerator.Save for each person: up to 10 liters of water per day.

In general, the reduction of water consumption 4 times, the task is done quite a lot and low.

Save gas

Gas saving is mainly related when the gas meter in the apartments are installed, where there are individual heating spots and in private houses with AOGV.In this case, all measures to save heat and hot water lead to gas saving.

At the same time, when cooking, there is also the opportunity to save gas:

  1. The fire of the burner should not be out of the bottom of the pan, pan, teapot.In this case, you only need to warm the air in the apartment.Save 50% or more.
  2. The deformed bottom of the dishes leads to a gas that is exceeded 50%;
  3. The food in which the food is prepared should be clean and not buried.Polluted dishes require more than 4-6 times gas to cook.
  4. Using economic dishes, these qualities are often advertised by the manufacturer.The most energy stainless steel products with the bottom are polished, especially with a copper or aluminum layer.Aluminum dishes, enameled, with non -economic teflon coating.
  5. Aluminum pads should be installed under the burner.In this case, the plate is not too warm and dirty, and the gas is more economical.
  6. Cua Lo must fit the body of the car and do not release hot air.

Overall, simply using gas to reduce its consumption by 2 times, the use of proposed measures is about 3 times.
