Energy conservation
Definition: Energy conservation is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used. It may be achieved through efficient energy use, in which case energy use is decreased while achieving a similar outcome, or by reduced consumption of energy services.
Energy Assessment Spreadsheet
Provided a complete break-up and summaries of the total annual energy consumption and cost.
Helped identify avenues for energy and cost savings.
Included separate sections for the major areas of energy consumption at our homes.
Change the light bulbs!
Because fewer watts used thus less long term cost.
It is easy to swap „normal light bulbs”, incandescent bulbs to CF bulbs (Compact fluorescent bulbs)
as they are very interchangeable.
Typical reduction of wattage use is a 60 watt incandescent being replaced with an 11 watt compact fluorescent bulb.
