The document discusses energy consumption and conservation strategies for two homes. It provides details on the appliances used in each home and their daily energy consumption. Specific strategies are outlined to reduce energy usage, such as replacing incandescent bulbs with LED lights, improving insulation, using solar water heaters, drying clothes naturally instead of a dryer, and setting appliances to energy saving modes. Adopting these small changes could result in estimated daily energy savings of 270-1120 watts for the two homes. The document also lists energy efficient products available from companies and provides additional conservation tips.

METHODS

7. Small Initiative Great
Results
Reduce consumption.
Check that none of taps are dripping.
 Keep doors closed whenever possible. This will help to prevent
cool or warm. Air from escaping.
Use the sun's energyduring day light hours.
Recycling paper, aluminium cans and plastic bottles .
 Walk, ride or catch a bus. This reduces the carbon emissions
Old light bulbs should be replaced by LED bulb.
There should be a bathing time only during which the geysers
should be switched on.

8. Small Initiative Great
Results
Decrease the hot water temperature.
Use front loading washing Machine.
Tumble dryers use up a huge amount of energy.
Reuse water coming out of the tap that would drain
otherwise.
Utensils should be covered to avoid wastage of gas.

Refrigerator-Freezer Energy Tips
 Don't keep refrigerator or freezer too cold.
 Make sure your refrigerator door seals are airtight.
 Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release
moisture and make the compressor work harder.
 Regularly defrost manual-defrost freezers and refrigerators.
Other Energy-Saving Kitchen Tips
 Use a natural gas oven or range with an automatic, electric ignition system,.
 Look for blue flames in natural gas appliances; yellow flames indicate the gas is
burning inefficiently
 Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean;
 Use a covered kettle or pan or electric kettle to boil water;
 Match the size of the pan to the heating element.
 Use small electric pans, toaster ovens, or convection ovens for small meals rather
than your large stove or oven.

10. Lighting
Switch off lights and fans when not required.
Replace bulbs / tube lights & CFL wit LED Lights.
Utilise natural light .
Take advantage of daylight by using light-
coloured, loose-weave curtains on your windows to
allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also,
decorate with lighter colours that reflect daylight.
Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an
entire room, focus the light where needed

11. Electric iron
Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff.
Use appropriate regulator position for ironing.
Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
Do not iron wet clothes.
Fans
Replace conventional regulators with electronic
regulators for ceiling fans.
Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling
fans.

12. Refrigerator
Keep adequate space from wall.
Do not overload the refrigerator.
Defrost/Auto refrigerator regularly.
Leave enough space between your refrigerator and
the walls so that air can easily circulate around the
refrigerator.
Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the
refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture and
make the compressor work harder.
Don't leave the fridge door open for longer than
necessary, as cold air will escape.
Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the
fridge.

13. Washing Machine
Run washing machine only with full load.
Use the shortest cycle time.
Use optimal quantity of water.
Use timer facility to save energy.
Use hot water only for very dirty clothes.
Always use cold water in the rinse cycle.
Prefer natural drying over electric dryers.

14. Geyser
 Reduce thermostat setting from 60º to 50º C.
 Use Solar Water Heater - a good replacement for an electric water
heater.
Mixers
 Avoid dry grinding in your food processors (mixers and grinders) as it
takes longer time than liquid grinding.
Microwave Ovens
 Reduce energy consumption by 50 % compared to conventional electric
/ gas stoves.
 Do not bake large food items.
 Don't open the oven door too often to check food condition as each
opening leads to a temperature drop of 25º C

15. Electric Stove
Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified
cooking time.
Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the
cooking coil.
Gas Stove
Remember that a blue flame means gas stove is operating
efficiently.
Yellowish flame is an indicator that the burner needs
cleaning.
Use pressure cookers as much as possible.
Bring items taken out of refrigerators (like vegetable, milk,

16. Air Conditioning
 Ensure proper sealing of doors and windows.
 Clean AC filter every month.
 Prefer air conditioners having automatic temperature cut off.
 Leave enough space between your air conditioner and the walls to allow
better air circulation.
 A roof garden can reduce the load on Air Conditioner.
 Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The
less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower
will be energy consumption.
 Don't place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The
thermostat senses heat from these appliances, which can cause the air
conditioner to run longer than necessary.
 Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but not to block the
airflow. A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity
than the same one operating in the sun.

21. ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPS
 Select energy-efficient equipment .
 ENERGY STAR-labeled computers use 30%-65% less energy than computers
without this designation, depending on usage.
 Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy but helps
equip-ment run cooler and last longer.
 Putting Laptop AC adapter on a power strip that can be turned off (or will turn off
automatically) can maximize savings;
 Using the power management settings on computers and monitors can cause
significant savings.
 It is a common misperception that screen savers reduce a monitor's energy use. Use
automatic switching to sleep mode or simply turn it off.
 Use rechargeable batteries for products like cordless phones and digital cameras.
Studies have shown they are more cost effective than disposable batteries.
 Walk down the stairs. Good form of exercise and energy saving too.
 Wash clothes yourself instead of washing machine.
 Live in natural surroundings.
 Use less water.
 Eat locally grown vegitables and fruits. Transportation is very energy consumption.
 Use non motorised transport.
