GUIDANCE FOR PRACTICING ELECTRICAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Here are some simple guidelines that can be adopted to use electricity efficiently, intelligent and productive as well as reducing our expenses on electricity.

i. the light.

• Use fluorescent lamp tube whether the application or ' compact x-ray fluorescent lamp (CFL BULB) and filament lamps. Fluorescent lamps are about 4 times more efficient than the filament.

• Use balancing cross less loss of energy or ' watt loss ' A Balance or "ballas" is an equipment for light kelimantang. Electricity used by crossbar the balancing menghaliskan thermal energy which is being lost.

• Use the ' direct task lighting ' or ' lighting ' and not a ' diffused lighting '.

• Use natural light whenever – where possible.

• Turn off the lights if not needed.

• When installing the lights, make sure the appropriate layout of pensuissan so that only the required light is turned on.

ii. Television

• Turn off the television if not to use it.

• If more than one, use one only if all families are watching the same plan.

• Select appropriate television size according to the family.

• If the television is equipped with a ' standby mode ' do not turn on ' standby mode ' is too long.

iii. refrigerator

• Select a refrigerator that uses less electricity with the same size.

• Select a fridge that has more than one door.

• When taking something from the refrigerator, make sure the door is not open too long because this allows hot heat into space in the fridge.

• Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. This will cause the refrigerator to work excess than it should.

iv. air conditioning

• Select air conditioning energy efficiency rate or ' Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Air conditioning with high (EER) is more efficient and less use of electricity.

• Select the air conditioning to the room size.

• When using air conditioning, make sure all doors and Windows closed so that cold air is not out of the room and cause air that operate in excess of.

• Do not manatah required temperature too low. Usually the temperature of 27 degrees Celsius is sufficient.

• Use blinds, curtains or roof awnings to prevent emission of the Sun from increasing the room temperature.

• When using air conditioning, use a fan together. This allows the cold air spread with more comprehensive and fast in the room without the need for air conditioning operate with excess.

v. fan

• Select a fan that use electricity but with air supply rate.

• When using a fan, make sure that the Windows and doors closed to rooms not fresh can drain in into the rooms. Let the window open because in the closed condition, lack of fresh air will cause we are not comfortable and lead us melajukan RPM fan, this will result in the use of electrical energy.

vi. water heater

• If using hot water for bathing and so on, use the water heater type immediately as this can save electricity consumption and compared to a storage type water heater.

• If buying a storage water heater type, choose the appropriate size and has good insulation layer.

• If using a storage-type water heater, planned use.

• Do not turn on water heater is too long before its use.

• To ensure safety, hot water equipment that must be protected by a circuit breaker to Earth (ELCB) appropriate and installed by qualified. If possible, use equipment that coated by plastic or rubber.

vii. washing machine

• Select the  washing machine using less electricity.

• Collect clothes that need to be cleaned so that the machine can be used efficiently.

viii. an electric kettle.

• Masaklah water according to need.

• If possible, use an electric water kettle.

• To ensure safety, make sure that a minimum water follow the syllabus.

ix. Electric Irons.

• Collect clothing or materials that can rub at one point.

• Never-once left an iron has not been used for so long.

• Make sure that the tetahan made in accordance with the required temperature and type pakaianan in the scrub.

x. other matters

• Before purchasing any electrical appliances, make a comparison in terms of power, capacity, or function between a few models and brands. Choose model and brand that is least use electricity but the facilities or services of the same.

• To ensure electrical appliances used works well, check out some electricity bill. Usually the amount of electricity we use every month is almost the same. If there is an increase in total electricity consumption upsurge, check your electrical equipment as this may be caused by the electrical equipment which is damaged or not working properly.

• Contact the Department of Electricity and Gas-for guidance and advice relating to how to use electricity efficiently and safely.
