2. Energy
Energy is a conserved quantity. the law of
conservation of energy states that Energy
can neither be generated nor it can be
destroyed. It can only be converted from one
form to another.
For example, in a room heater, electrical
energy is converted to the thermal energy.
Turbine converts mechanical energy stored
in steam to electrical energy.
3. Types of Energy
Energy can be broadly divided into two
categories-
Renewable Energy:- Renewable energy can be
generated continuously practically without decay of source.
Eg :- Solar Energy, Wind Energy ,Geothermal Energy, Hydro Energy
Non Renewable Energy:- Non renewable energy
cannot be generated again and again, e.g. energy generated from
combustion of fossil fuels, energy from coal and gas etc.
4. Why to Conserve?
We have limited fuels available on earth.
Our demand is increasing day-by .
It is possible that someday, most of fuels will get
exhausted, and we will have to switch to over to
alternate energy.
This means fuels will last much earlier than expected.
5. Bureau of Energy Efficiency
This body keeps watch on energy
consumption patterns, develops norms
for appliances etc.
It also organizes different competitions
e.g. poster & slogan competition etc. for
children.

6. Star Ratings
BEE has also initiated “Star Rating
System” for electrical appliances
e.g. refrigerator, CFL, geysers etc.
In this system, 1-5 stars are allotted
to products depending on their
energy efficiency. A five star
product means that it consumes
least energy in its segment.
7. What Can We Do?
Always switch off lights and fans while going out the
class.
While going to purchase new products, e.g. refrigerator,
geysers, CFL etc., we should insist upon purchasing a five
star product rather than cheap and energy waster
product.
Energy conservation is the practice of using less
energy in order to lower costs and reduce
environmental impact.
What is energy
conservation?
8. Unplug the appliances when they're not in use.
Purchase energy efficient appliances
Turn off televisions, radios and computer monitors
when not in use.
Increase everyone’s understanding of the benefits of
energy efficiency.
Recycle waste materials into new products to prevent
waste of potentially useful materials.
Replace old night bulbs with energy saving fluroscent
bulbs .They may cost more, but will save you much more
in the long run .
9. Three R’s
The slogan reuse reduce and recycle is
widely used to raise awareness against
the use of non renewable sources of
energy .
Reduce consumption
Reuse Manufactured Product
Recycle Raw Materials
