Energy saving in everyday life

In order to show how important the energy saving is for us, we would like to give a simple example: We will leave a light bulb a capacity of 60 watts during the year.8760 hours a year.We multiply this number with the performance of the light bulb 0.06 kW, we receive 525.6 kW*hour.This means that our light bulb consumes so much electricity a year.The most interesting thing is that his work burned about 200 kg of coal.And if the light bulb is 100 watts, more than 320 kg of coal.

Energy saving in everyday life

However, it should be noted here immediately that it is impossible to confuse energy savings and energy saving, since the energy saving is a more extensive concept that includes the savings of all energy resources, especially fossils.In the household, the energy for heating is primarily consumed, which consists of the lion's share of energy in everyday life.And if you believe that the main generation of thermal energy in Kazakhstan is carried out due to the combustion of coal, the saving of the thermal energy has an enormous impact on the reduction in emissions of CO2 or the so -called carbon dioxide.

Every year the entire proportion of electricity, gas, heat and water is output for household needs.The use of household equipment and the natural wear of the housing stock grows on a large scale.

Nowadays, the energy consumption is one of the most important not only economic, but also social indicators that largely determine human living standards.In the world, electricity consumption is carried out per capita, in which Kazakhstan occupies the 43rd place.In return, the first 30 countries have developed countries 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.It follows that the consumption of electrical energy in Kazakhstan will only grow on the basis of the budget sector.

But what to do to reduce consumption?Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent energy consumption in the household sector.Everything we can slow down only the topics of its growth.And here is the most difficult problem - starting with yourself.It is necessary to learn to comply with the elementary rules of the culture of energy consumption.Energy -efficient driving courses are already taking place abroad, so Kazakhstan quickly has to catch up with all rooms in energy efficiency.As practice shows, you can save up to half of the payment of supply companies due to the energy saving.Therefore, we prepared some methods of saving energy in everyday life:

The most important source of energy in housing is warm and therefore we start with measures to save

  1. Sealing of cracks in window frames and doors;
  2. Dilitation of the narthex of windows and doors;
  3. Installation of windows with Multi -chber -Double Windows;
  4. Installation of the calorie reflection screen (or aluminum film) on the wall behind the heating cooler;
  5. Exchange of cast iron coolers with aluminum (preferably with valve plates);
  6. Installation of the second door in the entrances.

If you live in an apartment building, you will definitely need to inquire with the management company whether the heating device and the automatic heat consumption regulation system are installed in your house.It will not be superfluous to film thermal imaging of the house to insulate facades and walls.

Electrical energy savings
  1. Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with LED analoga;
  2. Use local lamps if no general lighting is required.
  3. Take it a rule and leave the room to extinguish the light.
  4. Take yourself busy with the classes of energy efficiency of household appliances.Use the technology of energy efficiency that is not lower than "A" (preferably "A+", "A ++" and "A +++");
  5. Disconnect devices that are in standby mode for a long time.You can save about 300 kW*hour or 5,000 tenge for one year.
  6. Cook as much water in an electric kettle as you want to use it.
  7. Install the refrigerators in a dark and cool place;
  8. The electrical stove is the most energy -intensive device in everyday life.It is necessary to ensure that the burners are not deformed and close to the bottom of the heated dishes, switch on the stove at the time of the cooking and switch off a little earlier than the food is ready.

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

For information, you would like to find out that the electric stove consumes about 1000 kW*hour a year, the refrigerator - 400 kW*hour, TV - 250 kW*hour, washing machine - 200 kW*hour, etc.

Although gas is more environmentally friendly energy resources, the reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, gas savings measures are also relevant.

  1. The flame of the burner should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, pan and teapots;
  2. The deformed bottom of the dishes leads to a gas that is overtaken up to 50%.
  3. Courts in which the food is prepared should be clean.
  4. The door of the oven should fit firmly into the body of the plate and do not release the hot air.
  5. In some cases, the saving of hot water also reduces gas consumption.

In general, the single economic use of gas reduces its consumption by 2 times.

Another inconspicuous resource in everyday life is water.So far, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not that high.As a result, many have a faulty impression that it makes no sense to save water, but we speak of drinking water whose reserves are limited on the planet.On the planet's scale, the lack of drinking water is a real problem that requires an immediate solution.Therefore, rational water consumption should be regarded as decent behavior in terms of natural resources.In addition, the savings of hot and cold water also reduces the consumption of the electricity consumption used to ensure the water supply system.Therefore, we presented the main measures to save water below.

  1. Install water flow meters;
  2. Do not let the crane constantly switched on if this is not necessary (if you brush your teeth, wash and shower, when washing dishes, etc.);
  3. Install the lever switch on the taps instead of rotating cranes.
  4. Do not switch on the water with a full current.In most cases, a small current is sufficiently sufficient;
  5. The shower takes 10 -less water to accept the bathroom than to take a bath.
  6. A considerable water savings are achieved when using two button tanks with two key drainers.
  7. Install the dishwasher and start it most frequently in the mode, which saves water and energy.Manual washing significantly increases water consumption.
  8. Do not use water to lift meat products.

In conclusion, I would like to find that we create an atmosphere of the comfort around us, since all the measures proposed above improve living conditions and stay in the house and also create comfort and warmth.We start to keep an energy -efficient lifestyle, but the main thing is to be constant to make energy saving an integral part of life.This is not that difficult, the main thing is to make it a familiar phenomenon.
