Simple Ways to Save Energy

Below are simple ways to save energy effective, if done properly can reduce further expenditure of water, electricity and vehicles.

1. When a TV, DVD and other communication devices are not used should be a source of electrical power is turned off (TVs and DVDs in the STAND BY position still consume a few watts of electrical power)
2. At the time not being used, turn off the computer and monitor. Many who argue that the save mode of the monitor is to save electricity, is actually a design to reduce wear monitors. What really it can reduce electric power consumption with hibernate modes. At the time the computer is in hibernate mode electric power consumption will be reduced up to 80%.
3. Use the natural wind to dry the dishes or clothes, do not be dried with a dishwasher.

12. Utilization of AC: the temperature setting is extremely important, temperature 26 ~ 28 degrees C, most power-efficient. In addition, air conditioning filters also need to be washed every 2 - 3 weeks in order to maintain the function of lowering the room temperature and accelerate the circulation of air.
