Energy saving in daily life

To demonstrate the importance of energy saving to us, we would like to give a simple example: We will leave an incandescent bulb with a capacity of 60 watts throughout the year.8760 hours of the year.We multiply this number by the power of the bulb at 0.06 kW and we get 525.6 kW* hours.That is, our light bulbs consume a lot of electricity every year.The most interesting thing is to ensure that it burns about 200 kilograms of coal work.If the bulb is 100 watts, it will exceed 320 kg of coal.

Energy saving in daily life

However, it should be noted immediately that energy conservation and energy conservation are not possible, as energy conservation is a broader concept that includes savings for all energy resources (mainly fossils).In the home, heating energy is mainly consumed, which is the share of the energy consumed by the lion in daily life.And if you think that the main thermal energy in Kazakhstan is done due to the combustion of coal, then conserving thermal energy will have a huge impact on the reduction of CO2 emissions or SO CO2 emissions.

Every year, all electricity, gas, heat, and water are spent on household demand; to a large extent, the use of household electrical equipment is growing, and the natural wear and tear of home inventory is underway.

Today, energy consumption is not only the most important economy, but also one of the social indicators that largely determine people's living standards.Around the world, ratings for per capita electricity consumption are underway, with Kazakhstan ranks 43rd in it.In turn, the top 30 countries are developed countries around the world.Of all strategic documents, the government's mission is to enter the world's 30 most developed countries.From this, electricity consumption in Kazakhstan will only increase, especially due to the household sector.

But how to reduce consumption.Alas, it is impossible to prevent the reduction of energy consumption in the household sector, we can only slow down its growth theme.This is the most difficult problem - start with yourself.It is necessary to learn to abide by the basic rules of energy consumption culture.Abroad, energy-efficient driving courses have begun, so Kazakhstan needs to quickly catch up with all the energy efficiency space.As practice shows, you can save up to half of your utilities due to energy saving.Therefore, we have prepared some energy-saving methods in daily life:

The main energy in the housing is warm, so we will start with measures to save

  1. Seal cracks in window frames and doorways;
  2. Narthex compaction for windows and doors;
  3. Install windows using multi-chamber double-layer windows;
  4. Install a Calor Reflectentis screen (or aluminum foil) on the wall behind the heat sink;
  5. Replace cast iron radiators with aluminum (preferably valve plate);
  6. Install a second door at the entrance.

If you live in an apartment building, you must contact the management company with certainty whether the heat metering equipment and automatic heat transfer regulation system are installed in the house.It wouldn't be redundant to thermally image the house to isolate the walls and walls.

Power saving
  1. Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with LED analogs;
  2. Use a local lamp when no general lighting is required;
  3. Take a rule and leave the room and turn off the light.
  4. Handle the energy efficiency category of household appliances once and for all.Use energy efficiency techniques not less than "A" (preferably "A+", "A++" and "A+++");
  5. Disconnect the device that is in standby mode for a long time.Over the past year, you can save about 300 kW* hours or 5,000 aircraft;
  6. Boil as much water as possible in an electric kettle;
  7. Install the refrigerator in a dark and cool place;
  8. Electric furnaces are the most energy-intensive equipment in daily life.It is necessary to make sure that the burner does not deform and is closely adjacent to the bottom of the heating plate, turn on the stove while cooking and turn it off a little better than food preparation.

If you live in an apartment building, you will need to install traffic sensors and LED lights in the stairwells and basements.In general, it is very likely to reduce electricity consumption by 40-50% without reducing the quality of life and damage to habits.

Regarding the information, they would like to point out that electric furnaces consume about 1000 kW* hours per year, refrigerators - 400 kW* hours, TVs - 250 kW* hours, washing machines - 200 kW* hours, and so on.

Although natural gas is a more environmentally friendly energy source, its reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, fuel-saving measures are also important.

  1. The flame of the burner should not exceed the bottom of the pot, the pot, the teapot.
  2. The deformation bottom of the dish results in up to 50% of the gas applied to the gas;
  3. The dishes that prepare the food should be clean;
  4. The oven door should be installed tightly on the body of the plate and do not release hot air.
  5. In some cases, water conservation also reduces gas consumption.

Generally speaking, the economic use of natural gas only reduces its consumption by 2 times.

Another inconspicuous resource in daily life is water.So far, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not high.As a result, many people have the wrong impression that saving water does not make sense, 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 and requires immediate solutions.Therefore, rational consumption of water should be regarded as a decent behavior related to natural resources.In addition, the savings of hot water help reduce the consumption of electricity to ensure the water supply system.Therefore, we propose the main measures to save water below.

  1. Install a water flow meter;
  2. When not needed, do not keep turning on the crane when not needed (when brushing teeth, bathing, washing dishes, etc.);
  3. Install the lever switch on the faucet, not on the rotary crane;
  4. Do not open the water with the whole stream.In most cases, a small portion is enough.
  5. Shower is 10 times less than taking a shower.
  6. A lot of water savings can be obtained when using a two-button drain tank.
  7. Install the dishwasher and start most often in mode, thus saving water and energy, and manually washing your hands can greatly increase water consumption;
  8. Do not use water to thaw meat products.

All in all, I would like to point out that we ourselves create a comfortable atmosphere around us, as all the measures proposed above improve living conditions and stay in the house and create comfort and heat.We started to live an energy-efficient lifestyle, but the main thing was to keep it constant and make energy conservation an integral part of life.It's not difficult, the main thing is to start and make it a familiar phenomenon to yourself.
