1. Unplug appliances that are not use.
2. Cleaning the dust off bulbs helps the use of less energy and it makes them last longer.
3. Use energy saving light bulbs or LEDs.
4. Use A or A plus class appliances, they are the best for energy efficiency.
5. Reduce the energy consumed by your mobile phone: remove unnecessary sounds (such as the keyboard or notices ones) , avoid activating the screen only to review or check the time, and resist playing with it, this way your phone will consume less energy and the battery will last longer. Again, you would be reducing the amount of non-degradable / recyclable garbage.
6. Insulate your windows and doors so that in winter you manage to keep the heat in and in summertime you do so with the cool air conditioning.
7. Use aluminum reflecting panels behind your radiator. A lot of heat from radiators gets wasted; these panels can be found in any department store and they optimize the heat generated by a radiator.
8. Iron as many clothes as possible in one go.
9. Cleaning the filters of your washer, air conditioning and dishwasher allows for optimum performance and saves energy.
10. Use air conditioning in a temperature oscillating between 19 and 21 º C during the day and 15 and 17 º C in the bedrooms at night.
11. Kitchen pressure cookers consume less. With conventional pots, covering them is all you need in order to save.
12. Keep the minimum necessary in the refrigerator. Having things stored just in case is no good as energy is being spent on cooling plastics, metals, etc. |
