Energy savings in everyday life

In order to show the importance of energy saving for us, we want to give us a simple example: we leave a incandescent lamp that has 60 watts of capacity throughout the year.8760 hours during the year.Multiply this number with the bulb 0.06 kW, we get 525.6 kW*.That is, our bulb consumes so much electricity a year.And the most interesting thing is to ensure that it is about.It should burn 200 kg of coal.And if the bulb is 100 watts, more than 320 kg of carbon.

Energy savings in everyday life

But here it should be noted that it is impossible to disturb energy savings and energy savings, as energy saving is a more extensive concept that includes all energy sources, especially fossils.In the household, the heating energy is consumed primarily, which consists of the lion's share in everyday life.And if you think the main generation of the Kazakhstan heat law is carried out due to coal burns, then saving heat energy will have a huge impact on reducing CO2 emissions or so -called carbon dioxide emissions.

Each year, electricity, gas, heat, water spend on household needs;On a huge scale, household electrical equipment increases and the natural wear of the household kit is underway.

Nowadays, energy consumption is one of the most important not only economic but also social indicators that greatly determine the standard of living of people.The world is underway to classify per capita electricity consumption in which Kazakhstan ranks 43.The first 30 countries are developed countries from all over the world.In all strategic documents, the government is responsible for entering the country in the 30 most advanced countries in the world.It follows that the consumption of electrical energy in Kazakhstan will only increase, especially due to the household sector.

But what to do to reduce consumption.Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop the reduction of energy consumption in the household sector, all that can only be slowed down on the topics of growth.And here's the hardest problem - start with you.We need to learn how to follow the basic rules of energy consumption.In foreign countries, energy -efficient driving courses are already underway, so Kazakhstan has to quickly take up all the energy efficiency.As the practice shows, you can save up to half of the utilities due to energy saving.That's why we made some energy saving methods in everyday life:

The main source of energy in the house is warm, so we start with savings measures

  1. Closing cracks in the window frames and doors;
  2. Compression of narthexes of windows and doors;
  3. Installing Windows with multiple -chamber double glazed windows;
  4. Install the calorie reflective screen (or aluminum foil) on the wall behind the heating cooler;
  5. Replacement of cast iron radiators with aluminum (preferably valve plates);
  6. Installing the second door in the entrance.

If you live in an apartment house, you should definitely check the operating company that the thermometer and the automatic temperature consumption control system are installed in your house.It will not be unnecessary for the house to be filled with a heat treatment imaging for the insulation of facades and walls.

Electricity savings
  1. Replace the usual incandescent lamps with LED analogues;
  2. Use local lights if no general illumination is required;
  3. Remove this rule, leaving the room to extinguish the light.
  4. Once and for all, deal with the energy efficiency classes of household appliances.Use the technique of energy efficiency that is not lower than "A" (preferably "A+", "A ++" and "A +++");
  5. Disconnect the devices in standby mode for a long time.You can save about 300 kW*hours or 5,000 funerals for a year;
  6. Boil as much water in an electric kettle as you want;
  7. Install the refrigerators in a dark and cool place;
  8. Electric stoves are most energy -intensive in everyday life.Make sure that the burners are not deformed and closely adjacent to the bottom of the heated vessels, turn on the stove at the time of cooking, and turn it off a little earlier than the food is ready.

If you live in an apartment house, you must access the installation of traffic sensors and LED lamps on the stairwell and in the basements.In general, it is possible to reduce electricity consumption by 40-50% without reducing quality of life and habits.

For information, we would like to note that the electric stove consumes about 1000 kW*hours a year, the refrigerator - 400 kW*hour, TV - 250 kw*hour, washing machine - 200 kw*hour and so on.

Although the gas is more environmentally friendly energy sources, its reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, gas saving measures are also relevant.

  1. The flame of the burning should not exceed the bottom of the pan, fans, teapots;
  2. The deformed bottom of the vessels leads to 50%of gas;
  3. The food in which the food prepares should be cleaned;
  4. The oven door fits tightly to the body's body and do not let the hot air;
  5. In some cases, hot water savings also reduce gas consumption.

Generally speaking, simple economic use of gas reduces its consumption twice.

In everyday life, another unnoticed resource is water.To date, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not that high.As a result, many people give the impression that there is no point in saving the water, but we are talking about drinking water, whose reserves are limited on the planet.Lack of drinking water on the planet scale is a real problem that requires an immediate solution.Therefore, rational consumption of water should be considered as fair behavior relative to natural resources.In addition, the savings of hot and cold water help reduce the consumed electricity consumption to ensure the water supply system.Therefore, we presented the main measures to save the following water.

  1. Install water flow meters;
  2. Do not allow the crane to be constantly on when it is not necessary (when washing the teeth, washing and showering, washing vessels, etc.);
  3. Install the kart switches instead of the rotating cranes instead of the tap colonies;
  4. Do not turn on the water with a full stream.In most cases, a small stream is enough;
  5. The shower takes ten times less water to accept the bath than bathing;
  6. Significant water savings are obtained when using two button tanks.
  7. Install the dishwasher and start most often in mode, which saves water and energy, manual washing significantly increases water consumption;
  8. Do not use water to defrost meat products.

In summary, I would like to note that we themselves create comfort around us, as all measures suggested above improve the living conditions and remain in the house and create comfort and heat.We begin to lead an energy -efficient lifestyle, but the most important thing is to make energy saving to become an integral part of life.This is not that difficult, the most important thing is to start it and make it a familiar phenomenon for yourself.
