Our method of appliances every day. They help us a lot to facilitate our work at home or at work. How can we use effectively while using every bit of power worthy of its use, no power lost. With this in mind not only save money in our pockets, but saving energy, as we all know that is a permanent energy crisis.
Examine some of the devices and systems that are common to a normal house.
1. TV: I think a large percentage of people who own a television. When not in use, completely disconnect the AC adapter or power supply. Modern televisions are now remote. When not in use, these sets still minimal power consumption so you can power your digital controller. If untreated, this is a significant additional energy consumption. Remember that all great things start small. Especially if you have a large screen TV or conventional CRT based. If you have a budget surplus or perhaps thinking of buying a new one, replace their CRT TVs with newer, less consumption capacity and the new LED LCD televisions.
2. Refrigerator: One of the essential home appliances. Canned food and supplies fresh fruits and vegetables. Of course it can be cooled, but before the storage of hot, cool to room temperature, this can save some more energy, as if you have frozen food, take them out some time before lunch so you can cut savings in reheating furnace. If you are thinking of buying a new refrigerator, look for one that has a good EFR (Energy Efficiency Ratio). In general, manufacturers of office of governments today for the manufacture of devices that are compatible with conservation.
3. Air Conditioning: My favorite gadget when I’m home and while the outside temperature is hot. Be sure to clean the filter regularly and check the thermostat works correctly for the compressor can be switched off automatically when it reaches the set temperature. Similarly, the same with the fridge, if you’re thinking of buying a new one, choose one with EFR well.
4. Bulbs: Most homes today use CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) and is a good choice of lamp. And ‘lower power consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, they last longer and much brighter.
5. Computer: Computers are part of the intelligent device, only if you use it wisely. If you have older computer, consider an upgrade. Modern processors like the team series Intel Core2Duo and AMD Athlon X2 series, supports the intelligent automatic energy saving. Also, consider using an LCD or LED display, not only space efficient monitors, which have a low energy consumption. A typical 17-inch LCD monitors or LED can consume 25 watts to 40 watts compared to a 17-inch CRT monitors, which consume 80 watts or more, depending on the level of detail is the picture shown. It ’s a good idea to wash this way, thus saving electricity unconsciously.
