To show how important it is to conserve energy for us, we want to give a simple example: we will leave an incandescent lamp with a capacity of 60 watts throughout the year.8760 hours per year.We multiply this number by the power of the light bulb 0.06 kW, we get 525.6 kW*hours.That is, our lamp consumes so much electricity per year.And the most interesting thing is to ensure that her work burns about 200 kg of coal.And if the lamp is 100 watts, more than 320 kg of coal.
But it should be noted here that it is impossible to confuse energy conservation and energy saving, because energy conservation is a broader concept, which includes savings of all energy sources, mostly fossils.In the family, heating energy is mainly consumed, which consists of the lion of energy consumed in everyday life.And if you think the main generation of thermal energy in Kazakhstan is performed due to the burning of coal, then saving thermal energy will have a tremendous effect on reducing CO2 emissions or so -called carbon dioxide.
Yeardo year, the whole portion of electricity, gas, heat, water is spent on household needs;On a large scale, the use of electrified household appliances is increasing, and the natural coating of the housing stock is developing.
Today, energy consumption is one of the most important indicators not only economical but also social that sets mainly the standard of living of people.In the world, an estimate of per capita electricity consumption is being developed, in which Kazakhstan occupies the 43rd place.On the other hand, the first 30 countries are developed countries around the world.In all strategic documents, the government has a duty to enter the country in the 30 most developed countries in the world.It follows that the consumption of electricity in Kazakhstan will only increase, especially due to the home sector.
But what to do to reduce consumption.Sadly, it is impossible to stop a decrease in energy consumption in the home sector, all that we can only slow down the topics of its growth.And here's the hardest problem - start with yourself.It is necessary to learn to respect the basic rules of the culture of energy consumption.In foreign countries, energy -running courses are already happening, so Kazakhstan must quickly reach all spaces in energy efficiency.As practice shows, due to energy conservation, you can save up to half of the payment of services.Therefore, we have prepared some methods of conservation of energy in everyday life:
The main source of energy in the housing is warm, and therefore we will start with measures to save
- Signing cracks in window frames and doors;
- Compression of window nartex and doors;
- Installation of windows with multi -taste double windows;
- Installation of the reflective calorie screen (or aluminum foil) on the wall behind the heat radiator;
- Replacement of cast iron radiators with aluminum (preferably with valve plates);
- Installation of the second door at the entrance.
If you live in an apartment building, you should definitely check with the management company if the heat measurement device and the automatic heat consumption adjustment system are installed in your home.It will not be redundant to make a thermal shoot image of the house for insulation of facades and walls.
Electricity savings
- Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with LED analogs;
- Use local bulbs when there is no need for general lighting;
- Take it a rule, leaving the room to extinguish the light.
- Once and for all, deal with the energy efficiency classes of home appliances.Use the energy efficiency technique not lower than "A" (preferably "A+", "A ++" and "A +++");
- Disconnect devices that are on alert for a long time.For one year, you can save about 300 kW*hours or 5,000 tenge;
- Simmer in an electric boiler as much water as you want to use;
- Install refrigerators in a dark and fresh place;
- Electric stove is the largest energy device in everyday life.It is necessary to ensure that the burners do not deform and firmly adjacent to the bottom of the glowing dishes, light the stove at cooking time, and turn it off a little earlier that the food is ready.
If you live in an apartment building, you should achieve the installation of traffic sensors and LED lamps on stairs and basements.In general, it is quite possible to reduce electricity consumption by 40-50% without reducing the quality of life and damage to habits.
For information, they would like to notice that the electric stove consumes about 1000 kW*hours a year, refrigerator - 400 kW*hours, TV - 250 kW*hours, washing machine - 200 kW*hours, etc.
Although gas is more environmentally friendly energy sources, its reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, gas saving measures are also important.
- The combustion flame should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, pan, tea;
- The deformed bottom of the dishes leads to an excess gas of up to 50%;
- The dishes in which the food is prepared must be clean;
- The oven door should fit tightly into the body of the plate and not release hot air;
- In some cases, saving hot water also reduces gas consumption.
In general, the economic use of gas is simply reducing its consumption by 2 times.
Another vague source in everyday life is water.So far, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not that high.As a result, many have a wrong impression that it makes no sense to save water, but we are talking about drinking water whose reserves are limited to the planet.At the level of the planet, the lack of drinking water is a real problem that requires an immediate solution.Therefore, rational water consumption should be considered as good behavior regarding natural resources.Moreover, hot and cold water savings also help reduce the consumption of consumed electricity to provide the water supply system.Therefore, we presented the main measures to save water below.
- Install water flow meters;
- Do not leave the crane constantly lit when this is not necessary (when brushing your teeth, brushing and showering, washing dishes, etc.);
- Install lever switches on faucets instead of rotating cranes;
- Do not light the water with a full stream.In most cases, a small flow is quite enough;
- The shower requires 10 times less water to accept the bathroom than to take a bath;
- Significant water saving is obtained when using two button drainage tanks.
- Install the dishwasher and start it more often in mode, which saves water and energy, manual washing significantly increases water consumption;
- Do not use water to freeze meat products.
In conclusion, I would like to note that we ourselves create an atmosphere of comfort around us, because all the measures proposed above improve living conditions and stay at home, and also create comfort and heat.We start leading a lifestyle with energy, but the main thing is to be constant, to conserve energy an integral part of life.This is not that difficult, the main thing is to start and make it a phenomenon known to yourself.
