Energy saving in everyday life

To show how important energy saving is for us, we want to give a simple example: we will leave an incandescent bulb with a capacity of 60 watts throughout the year.8760 hours in the year.We multiply this number by the power of the 0.06 kW bulb, we get 525.6 kW*now.That is, our bulb consumes so much electricity per year.And the most interesting thing is to guarantee his work to burn about 200 kg of coal.And if the bulb is 100 watts, more than 320 kg of coal.

Energy saving in everyday life

But here it is well to note that it is impossible to confuse energy saving and energy saving, because energy saving is a wider concept, which includes savings of all energy resources, mainly fossil.In the family, the energy for heating is mainly consumed, which is composed of the share of energy of the lion consumed in everyday life.And if we consider that the main generation of thermal energy in Kazakhstan is carried out due to the combustion of coal, the saving of thermal energy will have a huge effect on the reduction of CO2 emissions or the such anhydride carbon called.

Every year, the entire share of electricity, gas, heat, water is spent on domestic needs;On vast scale, the use of electrified house equipment is growing and the natural wear of the real estate assets is underway.

Today, energy consumption is one of the most important not only economic indicators, but also social that largely determine people's standard of living.An evaluation of the per capita electricity consumption is underway in the world, in which Kazakhstan takes 43rd place.In turn, the first 30 countries are countries developed all over the world.In all strategic documents, the government has the task of entering the country in the 30 most developed countries in the world.From this it follows that the consumption of electricity in Kazakhstan will grow only, above all because of the families of families.

But what to do to reduce consumption.Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop a decrease in energy consumption in the families sector, everything we can only slow down the topics of its growth.And here's the most difficult problem: start with yourself.It is necessary to learn to respect the elementary rules of the culture of energy consumption.In foreign countries, they are already carrying out energy guide courses, so Kazakhstan must quickly recover all the spaces in energy efficiency.As the practice shows, due to energy saving, you can save up to half of the payment of utilities.Therefore, we have prepared some energy conservation methods in everyday life:

The main energy resource in the accommodation is hot, and therefore we will start with measures to be saved

  1. Seal the cracks in frames and doors of the windows;
  2. Compaction of the Narthex of windows and doors;
  3. Windows installation with multi -chamber double nail polish windows;
  4. Installation of the reflected heat screen (or aluminum sheet) on the wall behind the heating radiator;
  5. Replacement of cast iron radiators with aluminum (preferably with valves plates);
  6. Installation of the second door in the entrances.

If you live in a condominium, it is necessary to check with the management company if the heat measurement device and the automatic heat consumption regulation system are installed in your home.It will not be superfluous to shoot the filming of thermal imaging of the house for the insulation of facades and walls.

Savings of electricity
  1. Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with LED analogues;
  2. Use local lamps when general lighting is not necessary;
  3. Take a rule, leaving the room to turn off the light.
  4. Once and for all, manage the energy efficiency classes of appliances.Use the energy efficiency technique not less than "A" (preferably "A+", "A ++" and "A +++");
  5. Disconnect the devices that are in standby mode for a long time.For a year, you can save about 300 kW*or 5,000 kept;
  6. Boil in an electrical kettle how much water you want to use;
  7. Install the refrigerators in a dark and cool place;
  8. The electric stove is the most intense device of energy in everyday life.It is necessary to ensure that the burners are not deformed and strictly adjacent to the bottom of the heated dishes, turn on the stove at the time of cooking and turns it off a little earlier than the food is ready.

If you live in a condominium, you need to get the installation of traffic sensors and LED lamps on stairs and basements.In general, it is completely possible to reduce the electricity consumption of 40-50% without reducing the quality of life and damage for habits.

For information, they would like to note that the electric stove consumes about 1000 kW*now per year, the refrigerator - 400 kW*hour, TV - 250 kW*hour, washing machine - 200 kW*hour, etc.

Although the gas is more respectful energy resources of the environment, its reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, gas saving measures are also relevant.

  1. The burner flame should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, the pans, the teapots;
  2. The deformed fund of the dishes leads to a gas above up to 50%;
  3. The dishes where the food is prepared should be clean;
  4. The oven door should firmly adapt to the body of the plate and not release the hot air;
  5. In some cases, the savings of hot water also reduces gas consumption.

In general, the simply economic use of gas is reducing its consumption of 2 times.

Another inconspicuous resource in everyday life is water.To date, the cost of a cube meter of cold water is not so high.Consequently, many have an incorrect impression that makes no sense to save the water, but we are talking about drinking water, whose reserves are limited on the planet.On the scale of the planet, the lack of drinking water is a real problem that requires an immediate solution.Therefore, the rational consumption of water should be considered decent behavior in relation to natural resources.In addition, the saving of hot and cold water helps to further reduce the consumption of electricity consumed to guarantee the water supply system.Therefore, we presented the main measures to save the water below.

  1. Install water flow measures;
  2. Do not leave the crane constantly on when this is not necessary (when washing your teeth, when you wash and take a shower, when you wash the dishes, etc.);
  3. Install the lever switches on the taps instead of the rotating cranes;
  4. Do not turn on the water with a complete flow.In most cases, a small flow is enough;
  5. The shower requires 10 times less water to accept the bathroom than to take a bath;
  6. Significant water saving is obtained when using two -buttons drain tanks.
  7. Install the dishwasher and start it more often in mode, which allows you to save water and energy, manual washing significantly increases water consumption;
  8. Do not use water to defrost meat products.

In conclusion, I would like to note that we ourselves create an atmosphere of comfort around us, because all the measures proposed above improve living conditions and remain at home and also create comfort and warmth.We begin to conduct an efficient lifestyle from an energy point of view, but the main thing is to be constant, to make energy conservation an integral part of life.This is not so difficult, the main thing is to start and make it a family phenomenon for yourself.
