INTRODUCTION
The Demand for electricity has been

increasing day to day .

There is a strong correlation between
energy use per person of living.
Because electricity is the central force
behind our productivity and
environment .
As our energy resources are fast getting
depleted thus energy saving is essential .

NEED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

Energy conservation means using the energy
more efficiently or minimizing wastage of
energy .
To save energy to meet the future demand .
To minimize energy costs.
To improve the efficiency of the system
To make optimization production and
utilization of energy.

BENFITS OF ENERGY SAVING

Saving of electrical energy for the future
Saving of fuel reduction energy costs
Cheaper and better protection of energy
Lesser pollution and preserving of environment
Efficient transmission and distribution systems

with lesser maintenance costs

USEFUL TIPS TO SAVE

ENERGY

LIGHTS:

Turn off the lights when not in use.

* Use CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) in place
of Incandescent lamps.
*Use electronic chokes in place of conventional
copper chokes.

FANS:
*Replace conventional regulators with electronic
regulators for ceiling fans.

ELECTRIC IRON:
*Select iron box with automatic temperature
cutoff.
*Use appropriate regulator position for ironing .
*Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
*Do not iron wet clothes.

MIXERS:
*Avoid dry grinding in your food processors as it
takes longer time than liquid grinding.

Switch off! Dont leave it on standby!

If you can see a light

like this when the TV
is off, it is using almost
as much energy as if it
was on!

Turn off your home office equipment when not in

use.
If your must be left on, turn off the monitor.
Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to
Use sleep-mode when not in use helps cut
Energy costs by approximately 40%.

MOBILE PHONES:
Due to decreasing the brightness and LCD

Back light,5-7 v are saved.

REFRIGERATORS:
*Dont keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold.
*Do not open the doors of the refrigerators
frequently
*Dont leave the door open for longer than
necessary,
as cold air will escape.
*Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the
fridge

WASHING MACHINES :
*Always wash only with full loads.
*Use optimal quantity of water.
*Use timer facility to save energy.

AIR CONDITIONERS:
*Prefer air conditioners having automatic
temperature cut off.
*Keep regulators at low cool position.
*Seal the doors and windows properly.
*Use windows with sun films/curtains.
