| 1. |
When buying domestic electrical appliances, choose
the models with an energy label. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Use electric fans instead of air-conditioning
where possible. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Switch lighting on only when you need it, and
switch it off when you do not use it. |
| |
|
| 4. |
When buying new lighting, consider choosing compact
fluorescent lamps. |
|
|
| |
|
| 5. |
Keep windows and doors shut
when the air-conditioner is running. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Try not to open and close
the refrigerator too often. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Wait until you have a full
load before washing - a half load uses the same amount of energy as
a full load. |
| |
|
| 8. |
Use a low-temperature wash
cycle as far as possible, and do not use too much detergent. |
| |
|
| 9. |
Take a shower instead of a
bath. This will help save water consumption as well as heating energy. |
| |
|
| 10. |
For drying, it's helpful to
sort clothes and other items according to their thickness, then dry
them in batches. |
| |
|
 |
| 11. |
Do not put hot/warm
food into the refrigerator - let it cool to room temperature
first. |
| |
|
| 12. |
Do not choose too cold
a setting - it simply wastes electricity. |
