VITALIS recommended to be more eco-efficient and save energy in our daily lives.
in your home or office is highly recommended to use light and natural ventilation as much as possible, lighting bulbs and air conditioning only when you really need them.
Replace incandescent lamps (bulbs) for compact fluorescent lamps (energy saving). The latter provide the same level of illumination, last 8-10 times longer and save 40 to 80% of energy.
Use fluorescent lamps in those areas where you need more light and where it remains burning many hours, eg in the kitchen or utility room in your workplace. Fluorescents last 8 or 10 times longer and consume 80% less energy than incandescent lamps.
When using the washer, always be working with the full load. This will reduce water consumption, detergent and energy, and prolong the life of the device. To his knowledge, a few clothes washer running, using nearly the same amount of energy to its maximum capacity.
briefly
If you shower with hot water, consume five times less water and energy, which if done with a long bath with a jet of water is running. It has been demonstrated their consumption in soap and shampoo will decrease to three times than usual (without compromising on anything personal hygiene). Remember also that you can regulate the temperature of heat for not wasting energy and prolong equipment life.
When buying an appliance, look closely at the manufacturer's information and compare different devices and their levels of consumption. Always choose the device that best suits your needs. If you have no idea about it, check with the provider, and prefers those with energy saving system.
When you have managed to remote control devices, try to switch off the TV, video system or stereo. It is shown that if you turn it off only with the remote control, some components of these devices are connected and consuming 40-60% of normal energy expenditure.
In his office, keep the printer and computer off when not in use. Regarding the latter, many modern computers have energy saving systems that are easily activated and programmable.
sun dry your clothes using a clothesline instead of using the dryer. This will reduce the emission of about 300 kilos of carbon dioxide per year, which can help mitigate global warming. Use pots
the size of the burner and turn it off minutes before end of cooking to take advantage of residual temperature. It also leaves thawing food in good time, avoiding the use of microwave for this purpose.
Many electronic devices such as televisions or DVD (standby), consume up to 30% of electricity, so it is advisable to unplug unused prefaced periods such as weekends or holidays.
Allocate one day a week for ironing clothes. So you will be saving between 15 and 20% of energy to avoid board two or more times a week.
Keep the refrigerator away from the stove or other heat sources, and clean the back of the refrigerator at least three times a year. Never use the back to dry clothes or shoes, because the engine has to strain to work and consume more energy.
Unless absolutely necessary, avoid wearing clothing that requires naturalized environments. Electricity during the crisis, avoid warm jackets and uniforms and ties.
Carefully read the user manuals of the equipment, and try to schedule them in the automatic power saving some time they remain unused.
Encourage your family and colleagues to monitor the average consumption of electricity, published in a visible figure provided by the companies responsible for providing this service. Then you can reinforce those behaviors that are environmentally responsible and correct some habits eco-inefficient, out of ignorance, are hitting our pockets.
To consider:
addition to saving energy, citizen behavior will help to reduce the generation of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will support the mitigation of greenhouse gases.
VITALIS is an environmental NGO that promotes 10 years in projects and programs under the eco-efficiency and clean production.
