To show the importance of energy conservation to 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 in the year.We multiple this number by the power of the 0.06 kW lamp, we have 525.6 kW*hour.That is, our lamp consumes so much electricity a year.And the most interesting thing is to ensure that your work burn about 200 kg of coal.And if the lamp is 100 watts, over 320 kg of coal.
But here it should be noted immediately that it is impossible to confuse energy conservation and energy saving, because energy conservation is a more extensive concept that includes the economy of all energy resources, especially fossils.In the family, the energy for heating is consumed mainly, composed of most of the energy consumed in everyday life.And if you consider that the main generation of thermal energy in Kazakhstan is performed due to the burning of coal, the thermal energy saving will have a tremendous effect on reducing CO2 emissions or carbon dioxide called.
Every year, the entire portion of electricity, gas, heat and water is spent on domestic needs;On a large scale, the use of domestic electrified equipment is growing and the natural wear of housing material is underway.
Today, energy consumption is one of the most important not only economic, but also social indicators that widely determine people's standard of living.In the world, a per capita electricity consumption classification is underway, in which Kazakhstan ranks 43rd place.In turn, the first 30 countries are developed countries around the world.In all strategic documents, the government has a task of entering the country in the 30 most developed countries in the world.From this, it is followed that the consumption of electricity in Kazakhstan will only grow, especially due to the domestic sector.
But what to do to reduce consumption.Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop a decrease in energy consumption in the domestic sector, all that we can only slow down the topics of its growth.And here is the hardest problem - start with yourself.It is necessary to learn to comply with the elementary rules of the energy consumption culture.In foreign countries, efficient energy management courses are already taking place, so Kazakhstan needs to quickly reach all spaces in 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 some methods of energy conservation in everyday life:
The main energy resource of housing is hot and therefore we will start with measures to save
- Sealing gap in windows and doors;
- Narthex compaction of windows and doors;
- Installation of windows with windows with multi -carium double glaz;
- Installation of the reflective heat screen (or aluminum foil) on the wall behind the heating radiator;
- Substitution of aluminum cast iron radiators (preferably with valve plates);
- Installation of the second door at the entrances.
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 regulation system are installed in your home.It will not be superfluous to make a filming of thermal images of the house for isolation of facades and walls.
Electric Energy Economy
- Replace common incandescent lamps with LED analogues;
- Use local lamps when there is no need for general lighting;
- Take a rule, leaving the room to extinguish the light.
- Once and for all, bring with the energy efficiency classes of appliances.Use the energy efficiency technique no less than "A" (preferably "A+", "A ++" and "A +++");
- Disconnect the devices that are in waiting mode for a long time.For a year you can save about 300 kW*hour or 5,000 tenge;
- Boil in an electric kettle as much water as you want to use;
- Install the refrigerators in a dark, cold place;
- The electric stove is the most intense energy device in everyday life.It is necessary to ensure that the burners are not deformed and strongly adjacent to the bottom of the heated dishes, turn on the stove at the time of the kitchen and turn it off -a little earlier than the food is ready.
If you live in an apartment building, you need to get the installation of traffic sensors and LED lamps on the 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 note that the electric stove consumes about 1000 kW*hour a year, the refrigerator - 400 kW*hour, TV - 250 kW*hour, washing machine - 200 kW*hour, etc.
Although gas is more environmentally friendly energy resources, its reserves are not unlimited.Therefore, gas economy measures are also relevant.
- The flame of the burner should not go beyond the bottom of the pan, cookware, teans;
- The deformed dishes bottom leads to a gas spent up to 50%;
- Douts where foods are prepared should be clean;
- The oven door must firmly fit the body of the plate and not release the hot air;
- In some cases, hot water saving also reduces gas consumption.
In general, simply economic use of gas is reducing its consumption by 2 times.
Another discreet resource in everyday life is water.So far, the cost of a cubic meter of cold water is not so high.As a result, many have a misconception that it makes no sense to save water, but we are talking about drinking water whose reserves are limited on the planet.On the planet scale, lack of drinking water is a real problem that requires an immediate solution.Therefore, rational water consumption should be considered as decent behavior towards natural resources.In addition, the saving of hot and cold water helps additionally reduce the consumed consumption consumed to ensure the water supply system.Therefore, we present the main measures to save water below.
- Install water flow meters;
- Do not leave the crane constantly on when it is not necessary (when brushing your teeth, when washing and taking a bath, washing the dishes, etc.);
- Install lever switches on taps instead of rotating cranes;
- Do not turn the water with a complete flow.In most cases, a small stream is sufficient;
- The shower takes 10 times less water to accept the bath than to bathe;
- Significant water saving is obtained by using two -button drainage tanks.
- Install the dishwasher and start more often, which saves water and energy, manual washing significantly increases water consumption;
- Do not use water to defrost meat products.
In conclusion, I would like to note that we ourselves create an atmosphere of comfort around us, because all the proposed measures above improve living conditions and remain in the house and also create comfort and heat.We begin to carry a lifestyle with energy efficiency, but the main thing is to be constant to make energy conservation an integral part of life.This is not so difficult, the main thing is to start and make it a family phenomenon for yourself.
