Business of everyone: … heat to keep

In article recommendations concerning an electric power and water expense in the dwelling are made. It is specified as to keep heat.

BUSINESS of EVERYONE:

In Ukraine buildings of all appointments consume about 30 % of all fuel consumed in the country on a heat supply.

This fuel is spent: on heating – nearly 80 %, on hot water supply – 19 %, on ventilation – more than 1 %. Thus losses by production and transportation of thermal energy reach 15-25 %.

From given it is visible that the main reserves of economy of fuel resources – in the sphere of decrease in expenses on systems of heating and hot water supply, and also in spheres of production and energy transportation.

Besides public policy the energoyosberezheniye depends on each of us.

For everyone domo-or the flat-owner ras­xody on energy saving actions – it is economy of means for expenses pay back themselves in a short space of time at the expense of reduction of expenses by energy. Abroad at a dwelling assessment its cost is influenced by operating costs on warm and the electric power.

Power consumptions in the dwelling in a year

Oil crisis of 1973 forced the western countries of Europe and the USA at fast speed razra­botat actions for energy saving both in the production sphere, and in a life. So, to the USA, the sums allocated for development of new ways of economy of energy, were used for nonconventional and renewables: wind-driven generators, thermal pumps, solar collectors, etc. But quickly opre­delilis three main directions: creation of noyovy generation of windows with double-glazed windows and glasses with a heatreflecting spectral and selective dusting; development of new household refrigerators with the lowered capacity (in 7 years the capacity was reduced twice); creation of new effective light sources. Within 7 years production of compact luminescent lamps which on a sravyoneniye with filament lamps at the same light stream consume less energy in 6-7 times was started.

So that to achieve essential decrease in power consumption big investments both from state byud­zheta, and from other sources are necessary.

At the same time, in each apartment, in everyone do­me it is possible to reduce considerably power consumption and without expenses. Let’s consider some practical advice on economy of energy.

HEATING OF ROOMS

1. Maintain standard temperature in living and office rooms. In the last – tem­peratura below, than in inhabited.

Each time when the temperature indoors decreases on 1 degree, economy of energy on heating makes to 8-10 %.

2. Don’t hide heating batteries for curtains or furniture.

3. Don’t open a window for considerable time.

4. Warm windows during the heating or cold period.

HOT WATER SERVICE

1. The economy of 50 l of water per day saves about 100 l of fuel oil a year.

2. Wash quicker. One bath demands 100-150 l of water.

Consumption of water when using a shower approximately – 8-10 l of water a minute.

CONSUMPTION OF COLD WATER

1. Cranes should block water completely. The proceeding crane at small leads a dropping to losses to 7 m3 waters in a year and where drops follow one one to – 30 m3v year.

2. For washing of the car it is better to use not a hose, and a bucket with a brush.

ELECTRIC POWER EXPENSE

1. Use lighting devices where in them there is a requirement. Lamps should be with high efficiency. Replace filament lamps with the luminescent. In a distribution network komyopaktny luminescent lamps are on sale. There are they doyory, however in 5 times is more economical than lamps of a nakaliyovaniye and have a bigger length of life. So, the luminescent lamp in capacity of 13 W costs 12 UAH., but it is equivalent to the filament lamp in capacity of 65 W.

2. Use one powerful lamp instead of several lamps of smaller capacity, for example, a lamp of 100 W instead of two lamps on 60 W (economy of the electric power – to 12 %).

3. The scheme of electroconducting do so that lighting devices it was possible to include not everything at once, and everyone separately (2 %).

4. Keep clean lamps, plafonds and other lighting fixtures (1 %).

5. Paint walls and ceilings in light tone (2 %).

6. Contain in appropriate purity windowpanes (dusty glasses can absorb to 30 % of natural lighting).

7. Switch a refrigerator temperature regulator on 1°S towards temperature increase that reduces electricity consumption on the average for 8 %. It is necessary to establish a temperature regulator of the chamber of cooling on 4-6 °C, and freezing office – from-15 to – 10°S.

8. Don’t allow a coil on a back wall of the refrigerator with internal walls (economy – to 2 %).

9. Reduce frequency of opening of doors of the refrigerator (to 5 %).

10. Regularly clear a refrigerator coil of a dust (1 %).

11. When using the electric furnace remember heat of a warming up and furnace cooling. It is possible to save from 10 to 25 % of the electric power if not to turn on the furnace at once and after the food for preparation will be put on the furnace, vyklyu­chat it for 5-10 mines till the prigoyotovleniye termination.

12. Apply ware with the reinforced ground bottom and diameter of ware equal or a little big of diameter of a ring (economy of 10-20 %).

13. Correctly choose rings depending on volume of heated-up liquid. At 2-3 l of liquid use a ring in diameter of 145 mm, at 3-5 l – diameter of 180 mm, and at bigger volume of liquid – 220 mm.

14. Boil water not on an electric stove, and by means of an electroboiler having higher efficiency, than at a plate (about 60 %).

Economy percent from performance kazhyody from points as if small. The pessimist will grumble a little and will tell that hardly it is necessary to pay attention to these "trifles", and the optimist will take the calculator, prosum­miruet and will increase by cost of energoyonositel (the price on which grows, alas, as on drozhzhazh) and will receive VNUSHI­TELNUYU the sum.
