Energy conservation
Energy conservation
refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption. Energy conservation can be
achieved through increased efficient energy use, in conjunction with decreased
energy consumption and/or reduced consumption from conventional energy sources.
Energy conservation can
result in increased financial capital, environmental quality, national
security, personal security, and human comfort.
Individuals and organizations that are direct consumers of energy choose
to conserve energy to reduce energy costs and promote economic security.
Industrial and commercial users can increase energy use efficiency to maximize
profit.
Please do not wait to
start conserving as much energy as you can to reduce your climate change
emissions! And please ask your elected representatives to push for strong
legislation to move toward overall reduced energy usage and increased
alternative energy production.
TIPS FOR ENERGY
CONSERVATION- Lighting System
01.One of the best
energy-saving devices is the light switch. Turn off lights when not required.
02.Many automatic devices
can help in saving energy used in lighting. Consider employing infrared
sensors, motion sensors, automatic timers, dimmers and solar cells wherever
applicable, to switch on/off lighting circuits.
03.As for as possible use
task lighting, which focuses light where it's needed. A reading lamp, for
example, lights only reading material rather than the whole room.
04.Dirty tube lights and
bulbs reflect less light and can absorb 50 percent of the light; dust your tube
lights and lamps regularly.
05.Fluorescent tube
lights and CFLs convert electricity to visible light up to 5 times more
efficiently than ordinary bulbs and thus save about 70% of electricity for the
same lighting levels.
06.Ninety percent of the
energy consumed by an ordinary bulb (incandescent lamp) is given off as heat
rather than visible light.
07.Replace your
electricity-guzzling ordinary bulbs (incandescent lamps) with more efficient
types. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) use up to 75 percent less electricity
than incandescent lamps.
08.A 15-watt compact
fluorescent bulb produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent
bulb.
