Energy saving in daily life

To show how important energy conservation is for us, we want to give a simple example: we will leave an incandescent bulb with a capacity of 60 watts throughout the year.8760 hours a year.We multiply this number by the power of the 0.06 kW bulb, we obtain 525.6 kW * hour.In other words, our bulb consumes so much electricity per year.And the most interesting thing is to ensure its work to burn about 200 kg of coal.And if the bulb is 100 watts, more than 320 kg of coal.

But here, it should be noted immediately that it is impossible to confuse energy conservation and energy savings, because energy conservation is a more extensive concept, which includes the savings of all energy resources, mainly fossils.In the household, the energy of heating is mainly consumed, which is made up of the energy lion consumed in daily life.And if you consider that the main generation of thermal energy in Kazakhstan is carried out due to the combustion of coal, the backup of thermal energy will have a huge effect on the reduction of CO2 emissions or carbon dioxide if called.

Each year, the share of electricity, gas, heat, water is spent for household needs;On a large scale, the use of electrified household equipment increases and the natural wear of the housing stock is underway.

Today, energy consumption is one of the most important social indicators not only economic, but also which largely determine the standard of living of people.In the world, a note of electricity consumption per capita is underway, in which Kazakhstan takes the 43rd place.In turn, the first 30 countries are developed countries around the world.In all strategic documents, the government has the task of entering the country into the 30 most developed countries in the world.From this, it follows that the consumption of electrical energy in Kazakhstan will only grow, in particular because of the household sector.

But what to do to reduce consumption.Alas, it is impossible to stop a decrease in energy consumption in the household sector, all that we can only slow down the subjects of its growth.And here is the most difficult problem - to start with yourself.It is necessary to learn to comply with the basic rules of the cultivation of energy consumption.In foreign countries, effective driving lessons on energy are already taking place, so Kazakhstan must quickly catch up all the spaces in terms of energy efficiency.As the practice shows, due to energy conservation, you can save up to half the payment of public services.Therefore, we have prepared certain methods of conservation of energy in daily life:

The main energy resource of housing is hot, and we will therefore start with measures to save

1. Sealing cracks in the frames and doors of the window;
2. Compacting the narthex of windows and doors;
3. Installation of windows with multi-chamber double glazed windows;
4. Installation of Calor Reflectens screen (or aluminum foil) on the wall behind the heating radiator;
5. Replacement of aluminum cast iron radiators (preferably with valve plates);
6. Installation of the second door in the entries.

If you live in an apartments building, you must certainly check with the management company if the heat measurement system and the automatic heat consumption regulation system are installed in your home.It will not be superfluous to shoot thermal imaging of the house for the insulation of facades and walls.

Electrical energy savings

1. Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with LED analogues;
2. Use local lamps when there is no need for general lighting;
3. Take a rule, leaving the room to turn off the light.
4. Once for all, treat the energy efficiency classes for household appliances.Use the technique of energy efficiency not lower than "A" (preferably "A +", "A ++" and "A +++");
5. Disconnect the devices that are in standby mode for a long time.For a year, you can save around 300 kW * HOUR or 5,000 Tenge;
6. Boil in an electric kettle as much water as you want to use it;
7. Install the refrigerators in a dark and fresh place;
8. The electric stove is the most high energy intensity of daily life.It is necessary to ensure that the burners are not deformed and closely adjacent to the bottom of the heated dishes, light the stove at the time of cooking and turn off a little earlier than the food is not ready.

If you live in an apartments building, you must install traffic sensors and LED lamps on the stairwells and in the basements.In general, it is quite possible to reduce electricity consumption by 40 to 50% without reducing quality of life and damage to habits.

For more information, they would like to note that the electric stove consumes approximately 1000 kW * hour per year, the refrigerator - 400 kW * hour, television - 250 kW * hour, washing machine - 200 kW * hour, etc.

Although gas is more environmentally friendly energy resources, its reserves are not unlimited.Consequently, gas savings measures are also relevant.

1. The burner's flame should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, pans, teapots;
2. The distorted background of the dishes leads to a gas exceeded at 50%;
3. The dishes in which food is prepared must be clean;
4. The oven door must adapt closely to the body of the plate and not release hot air;
5. In some cases, saving hot water also reduces gas consumption.

In general, the simply economical use of gas reduces its consumption by 2 times.

Another discreet resource in everyday life is water.To date, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not so high.Consequently, many have an erroneous impression that it has no sense to save water, but we are talking about drinking water, whose reserves are limited on the planet.On the planet's scale, the lack of drinking water is a real problem requiring an immediate solution.Consequently, rational water consumption should be considered a decent behavior compared to natural resources.In addition, hot and cold water savings also help reduce the consumption of electrical energy consumed to ensure the water supply system.Therefore, we presented the main measures to save water below.

1. Install water flowmers;
2. Do not leave the crane constantly activated when it is not necessary (when you brush your teeth, when you wash and take a shower, when you wash the dishes, etc.);
3. Install the leverage switch on the taps instead of rotating cranes;
4. Do not light the water with a full stream.In most cases, a small stream is enough;
5. The shower takes 10 times less water to accept the bath than to take a bath;
6. Significant water saving is obtained when using two button emptying tanks.
7. Install the dishwasher and start it most often in mode, which saves water and energy, manual washing considerably increases water consumption;
8. Do not use water to lush meat products.

In conclusion, I would like to note that we are creating an atmosphere of comfort around us ourselves, because all the measures proposed above improve the living conditions and remain in the house, and also create comfort and heat.We are starting to lead an effective lifestyle on energy, but the main thing is to be constant, to make energy conservation an integral part of life.It is not so difficult, the main thing is to start and make it a familiar phenomenon for yourself.
