Energy Saving Tips

• Use Dimmers, Motion Sensors, or occupancy sensors to automatically turn on or off lighting as needed and prevent energy waste.
• If you are using bulbs to light up your place, switch to LED bulbs right now.
• Use Natural light whenever available. No point keeping your curtains/ blinds shut and then using lights indoors in the day time.
• Use Task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it.
• where has an abundance of sunlight you can consider to use Solar heaters.
• Do you keep the microwave, the blender/mixer, the laptop on standby mode? What is the cooling level in your refrigerator? Keeping appliances on standby does consume a lot of electricity over time. If you are in the kitchen, don’t let fans, lights and TV be running in other rooms.
• Take advantage of daylight by using light-coloured, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room while preserving privacy. Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight.
