Energy saving in everyday life: 38 ways

The most difficult problem in saving energy resources is to start with yourself.As the practice of energy consumption shows, the savings can be very decent with an appropriate self -introduction and isolation of the apartment: up to half of the funds for paying care companies.

Anyone who has learned to save electricity, water, warmth, gas in their apartment in their apartment understands the need to save energy in a house and at work.

Let us give an example with the water consumption.For example, there are three standards for the use of water in the city.The minimally justified sanitary standard of water consumption for natural needs and maintaining purity - 30 liters per day and person.For residents who use pillars used on the street with water losses, a water supply standard of 50 liters per day and person is.For residents who live in several buildings with hot and cold water in several aspects, a water consumption standard of 420 liters per day and person is.

The water prices were increased and an installation wave of water meters in apartments in the city swept.After installing the counter, people began to limit themselves without changing everyday habits.As a result, water consumption was 100-110 liters per day per person.The repayment of the installation of meters was 3-6 months.This means that the consumer then pays 2-3 times less.The given situation is the norm for almost all cities.

There are many examples of such and not just through water.In the heart of savings, the will to eradicate bad habits of tremors and bookkeeping.But let's talk more about the methods of energy saving in everyday life.

Heat savings

Warming your house is a normal phenomenon.There are several simple insulation methods:

1. Flakes of cracks in window frames and doors.For this purpose, installation foams, self-bound sealing tapes, silicone and acrylic sealants, etc. are used.The result is an increase in the air temperature in the room by 1-2 degrees.
2. The seal of the Narthex of windows and doors.Various self -ran -in -wheels and seals are used.The window seal is not only carried out by the scope, but also between the frames.The result is an increase in the temperature of the room by 1 to 3 degrees.
3. Install new plastic or wooden windows with multi -chber -doubled windows.It is better when the glass is equipped with a heat film, and the ventilation devices are provided in the design of the windows.Then the temperature in the room is more stable in both winter and summer, the air is fresh and it is not necessary to open the window regularly and throw a large volume of thermal air.The result is an increase in the temperature in the room by 2-5 degrees and a decrease in the starting noise.
4. Installation of the second door at the entrance to the apartment (house).The result is an increase in the temperature in the room by 1-2 degrees, a decrease in the external noise and the gas content.
5. Installation of a heating screen (or aluminum film) on the wall behind the heating cooler.The result is a temperature increase in space by 1 degree.
6. Try not to close the coolers with thick curtains, screens and furniture.The heat is distributed more efficiently in the room.
7. Close the curtains at night.This helps to maintain the heat in the house.
8. Replace cast iron coolers with aluminum.The heat transfer of this radiator is 40-50% higher.If the radiators are installed taking into account the comfortable distance, it is possible to rinse them regularly, which also helps to increase heat transfer.
9. The glazing of the balcony or the loggia corresponds to the installation of an additional window.This creates a thermal buffer with an intermediate temperature of 10 degrees higher than on the street in heavy frost.

It is not unusual if there is a problem with a lack of warmth, but with its surplus.

Electrical energy savings

1. Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with energy -saving Luminocentische.Your lifespan is 6 times larger than the incandescent lamp and the consumption under 5 times.The light bulbs pay off 8-10 times during operation.
2. Use local lamps if no general lighting is required.
3. Let's take a rule that leaves the room to extinguish the light.
4. Disconnect devices that are in standby mode for a long time.TV, video recorder and music centers in standby mode consume energy from 3 to 10 watts.In the course of the year, 4 such devices that remain in sockets will enable additional energy consumption 300-400 kW*hour.
5. Use the technology of energy efficiency at least A. The additional energy consumption for household appliances outdated structures is approximately 50%.Such household appliances will not pay off immediately, but taking into account the growth of energy prices, the influence of savings will be more and more.In addition, such a technique is usually modern and better properties.
6. Do not install the refrigerator next to a gas stove or a heating cooler.This increases energy consumption by a refrigerator by 20-30%
7. The refrigerator seal should fit cleanly and firmly on the body and door.Even a small gap in the seal increases energy consumption by 20-30%.
8. Cool to room temperature products before placement in the refrigerator.
9. Don't forget to build up the refrigerator more often.
10. Do not close the refrigerator cooler and let the gap between the room wall and the rear wall of the refrigerator so that it can cool down freely.
11. If you have an electric stove in your kitchen, make sure that the burners are not deformed and fit firmly to the bottom of the heated dishes.This eliminates the excessive consumption of heat and electricity.Do not switch on the stove in advance and switch off the plate a little earlier than necessary for the complete cooking.
12. Cook as much water in an electric kettle as you want to use it.
13. Use bright colors if you decorate the walls of the apartment.Light walls, light curtains, clean windows, a reasonable number of colors reduce light costs by 10-15%.
14. Write down the measured values of electricity measuring devices and analyze how you can reduce consumption.
15. The computer is kept constantly in some houses.Switch it on or put it in sleep mode if no permanent work is required.With continuous work with around the clock, the computer consumes 70-120 kW*h per month and month.If continuous work is required, it is more effective for such purposes to use a laptop or a computer with reduced energy consumption.

In general, it is quite possible to reduce electricity consumption by 40-50% without reducing the quality of life and damage to habits.

Save water

1. Install water flow meters.This will motivate to reduce water consumption.
2. Install the lever switch on the taps instead of rotary cranes.Save water 10-15% plus convenience when choosing the temperature.
3. Do not switch on the water with a full current.A small electricity is sufficient in 90% of the cases.Save 4-5 times.
4. Turn off the water when washing and showering if it is not necessary.
5. The shower takes 10-20 times less water than accepting the bathroom.
6. Significant water savings are made by using two drain tanks with threshold.
7. It is necessary to carefully check the presence of water leaks from the drainage container from the old accessories in the tank.The replacement of the equipment is Penny and the saving of water is impressive.Due to a thin stream of leaks, you can lose several cubic meters of water a month.
8. Check how the "return" works on hot water.If there is no circulation when serving, you will be forced to pump water through the uprisings of the neighbors until you get it hot in your apartment.At the same time, expensive "hot" water simply merges into the sewer.

Saving in the bathroom

1. Don't let the crane constantly on when you brush your teeth.Try to turn it on at the beginning and end of the procedure.Maybe you even buy a liquid to rinse the oral cavity.In this way you can save your teeth 'health on saved money.Savings: 15 liters of water per minute (757 liters per week) with 4 family members.
2. Switch off the tap while shaving.A small bowl helps you to rinse the razor and save your money.Savings per person: 380 liters per week.
3. Reduce the time of stay in the shower to 5-7 minutes.Savings per person: 20 liters of water at every reception.
4. During the shower it is not necessary to constantly leave the water flow.Use the maximum pressure in moments of rinsing and washing the foam.Savings per person: up to 20 liters of water at every reception.
5. Fill a bath by 50 - 60%.Savings per person: up to 20 liters of water at every reception of the bath.

Saving in the kitchen

1. Fill one of the mussels (or another container) with water with manual sinks of dishes, mixed with detergent.Then rinse with cleaning agents in another sink under a slight pressure of warm water.Savings per person: up to 60 liters of water per day.
2. Use the dishwasher if possible if it is completely loaded.Savings per person: up to 60 liters of water for every use.
3. Wash the vegetables and fruits in water with water with a tap that is switched off.Savings per person: up to 10 liters of water per day.
4. Do not use water to lift meat products.You can thaw them by leaving in the fridge at night.Savings per person: up to 10 liters of water per day.

In general, the reduction in water consumption around 4 times the task is quite realized and low.

Gas savings

The gas savings are primarily relevant when gas knives are installed in apartments, where there are individual heating points and in private individuals with AOGV.In this case, all measures lead to savings of heat and hot water.

At the same time, there are also ways to save gas when cooking:

1. The flame of the burner should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, pans and teapots.In this case, they only heat the air in the apartment.Save 50% or more.
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 and not buried.Contaminated dishes need 4-6 times more gas for cooking.
4. Use economic dishes, these properties are usually advertised by the manufacturer.The most energy -efficient stainless steel products with polished soil, especially with a layer of copper or aluminum.Aluminum dishes, enamelled, with Teflon coating are not very economical.
5. It is recommended to install aluminum foil seals under the burner.In this case, the plate is not so warmed and dirty, and the gas is used more economically.
6. The oven door should fit firmly into the body of the plate and do not release the hot air.

In general, the single economic use of gas provides a reduction in consumption by 2 -times the use of the proposed measures by about three times.
