Tips to Save the Energy

LIGHTING SYSTEMS:

  • One of the best energy saving devices is the light switch. Turn off lights when not required.
  • As far as possible use task lighting, which focuses light where it’s needed. A reading lamp, for example, lights only reading material rather than the whole room.

ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS:

  • Use ceiling or table fan as first line of defence against summer heat. Ceiling fans, for instance, cost about 30 paise an hour to operate much less than air- conditioners (Rs. 10.00 per hour).

MICROWAVE OVENS & ELECTRIC KETTLES:

  • Microwaves save energy by reducing cooking times. In fact, one can save up to 50 percent on your cooking energy costs by using a microwave oven instead of a regular oven, especially for small quantities of food.
