According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average summer electricity bill was about $395 last year. That’s a lot of money. Here are some low-cost, no-stress, renter-friendly ways to slice your summer utility bills.
Here are 3 tips to save on electricity costs this summer:
1. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher when home, and 80-83 degrees when away to reduce air conditioning bills.
2. Close shades and blinds during the day to block out sun rays and use ceiling fans with your air conditioner to keep rooms cool.
3. Turn off lights and unplug electronics when not in use to avoid wasting electricity, and use a microwave instead of the oven to avoid heating up the kitchen.
Your home is the largest investment of your life. Apart from buying a house, you have to maintain the house which involves cost on a regular basis.
Besides the initial cost, a home is a series of operating systems that use energy and by taking care of those systems in a proper manner you can save much of the cost. Your cost gets multiplied if the systems aren’t efficient, or if your home is over 10 years old, then perhaps you should think of updating those systems. New generations of Energy Star appliances, heating and air/systems, and environmentally friendly insulation can bring your cost down to a great extent.
Most of the energy savings can be initiated with simple upgradation of appliances. The initial cost of upgrading may be on the high side but you can save a lot once you own an energy efficient home.
1) To conserve electricity at home and work, it is important to use electricity efficiently and avoid waste, such as switching off lights when not in use and replacing incandescent bulbs with fluorescent or LED bulbs.
2) When cooking, some tips include using flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the heating element, keeping lids on pans to minimize heat loss, and cutting food into smaller pieces for faster, more even cooking.
3) For refrigerators and freezers, maintenance like cleaning coils regularly and keeping doors sealed can improve efficiency, as can avoiding placing them in direct sunlight or too close to walls or other heat sources.
Unplug unused appliances when not in use to save energy, as appliances continue to draw power even when turned off. Close doors to unused rooms to reduce heating costs and save energy. Turn off lights when not in use, as light bulbs can use up to 0.5 kWh per day. Setup the thermostat to different settings during the day and night to save on heating costs. Use motion-activated lights rather than keeping lights on 24/7 to reduce unnecessary energy loss.
The document discusses various ways that homes waste energy and provides recommendations for improving efficiency. It analyzes inefficiencies in lighting, heating, cooling, cooking, refrigeration, and entertainment systems. For lighting, it recommends LED or CFL bulbs over incandescent. For heating, it suggests improving insulation and considering high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, or solar heating. Cooling systems should aim to reject heat to a cooler underground area. Appliances and electronics can be powered down when not in use to reduce standby energy use.

Tips and actions that you can take to save precious dollars on your electricity bills. Presented by the Melton Sustainable Living Group Inc, Melton West, Australia
Energy efficiency refers to reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating a home allows it to use less energy for heating and cooling while maintaining a comfortable temperature. Using fluorescent or LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs reduces the energy needed for the same level of illumination. Modern appliances like refrigerators and washing machines also use significantly less energy than older models. Individual actions such as switching off unused lights and appliances, closing doors and windows while using AC, and choosing more efficient products can all help conserve electricity.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
2. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,
the average summer electricity bill was about $395 last year.
That’s a lot of money.
Cutting your utility costs doesn't have to mean buying a
bunch of gadgets or sitting alone in the dark. Here are some
low-cost, no-stress, renter-friendly ways to slice your summer
utility bills.
3. They’re all around us, and we don’t even know it. They’re
personal electronics and small appliances that should turn
off when you want them to, but continue to suck power
and pennies from your meter.
How do you spot a vampire? Anything with a clock or light that's on when
the item is turned off (laptops, cable boxes, coffee machines—you get the
idea). Also, any kind of plugged-in charger can be a vampire appliance
(cellphones, tablets, etc.), whether or not it's charging anything.
Luckily, you don’t have to go around plugging and
unplugging every time you use an item in your home.
Surge protectors or outlets that connect to wall switches
can control items around the house, so when the wall
switch is off, there’s no more power to drain.
4. Who doesn't enjoy coming in from frying eggs on the sidewalk
and immediately cranking the air conditioning down to a
temperature usually reserved for the county morgue?
Unfortunately, while this sounds fantastic in the moment, you’ll
probably feel like actually dying once your bill arrives. Icing down
the whole house just to cool you off for a few minutes is
expensive, doubly so without the right equipment.
Contrary to popular belief, ceiling fans, standing fans, and
window fans are still the most energy efficient way to cool a
room, because they don’t use nearly as much electricity as an air
conditioning unit. Well-placed fans can keep cool air circulating
in the house. They also have the added effect of feeling like a
wind tunnel if you stand right in front of them, giving you that
morgue-fresh chill.
If you’re a renter, there’s a 50/50 chance you were lucky enough
to have inherited a clunky, hand-me-down air conditioner as a
rental “bonus.” There’s also a very good chance that air
conditioner is old enough to vote and not exactly energy
efficient. So, make sure you remove the filter and clean it once a
month. This will ensure efficient, even air flow.
Once that’s done, keep the air conditioner at a reasonable
setting and look for other ways to chill when you first come
inside. Have a frosty beverage, put a cold compress on the back
of your neck, or change into some cool, absorbent clothes.
5. Try to use as much natural
light as possible during the day.
If you must use electric lights or lamps,
switch from incandescent to CFL (compact
florescent) or LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs.
They can help you save substantially on lighting costs. If you're
still using old bulbs you tucked away in your utility closet, now's
the time to make the switch.
Hanging heavy drapes in front of windows serves a
dual function: they’ll help keep the house cool by keeping
the air conditioning in, and they won’t allow sunlight to
warm the rooms.
If buying drapes for all of the windows in your home is
too expensive, you could opt to hang them in the
areas of your house that get the most sun
exposure or DIY them with light-colored
sheets or throw blankets.
6. Kitchens are actually the number one culprits of energy waste in
many homes, much of which stems from outdated appliances. Make
these quick changes, and you can treat yourself to a hot meal made
on someone else’s hot stove:
For optimal efficiency, change your refrigerator temperature to 36-39 degrees Fahrenheit and
your freezer to 0-5 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, any foodstuffs in your freezer shouldn’t cover
the cooling vents. Your fridge will have to work harder to keep your food cool.
Say goodbye to dish hands. Did you know that your dishwasher uses less water than washing
dishes by hand? Run the dishwasher when you have a full load, and then let them air-dry to save
even more!
Use the microwave. Nothing is more energy
Efficient for cooking than your microwave.
It uses 2/3 less energy than your stove, and it
wont leave your kitchen feeling like a portal
to the equator.
7. It's best to run larger appliances, like washing machines and dryers, before 4:00 p.m. and after
7:00 p.m. That way, you'll reduce the peak electricity demand on hot afternoons.

If you have a newer air conditioner, it will have an energy saver option. When you’re not at
home, use the energy saver option on your air conditioner rather than turning
it off. This sounds counterintuitive, but the energy saver will keep your
house at a cool temperature. If you turn off your air conditioner,
the temperature in your house will rise and your air
conditioner will need to work harder to cool your
house down again when you turn it back on, which
will increase your electric bill. Once you’re back at
your place for the night, turn off the AC and turn on a
fan to continue circulating the cool air.
