ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

GENEREAL MEASURES USE FIVE STAR RATED ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES USE ENERGY EFFICIENT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS. LIGHTING SYSTEM SWITCH OFF LIGHTS AND FANS WHEN NOT IN USE USE LIGHTS ONLY WHEN DAY LIGHT IS POOR REMOVE ALL OBSTRUCTIONS TO NATURAL LIGHT AND FREE FLOW OF FRESH AIR. SWITCH OFF LIGHTS NEAR WINDOWS AND MAKE USE OF ABUNDANT NATURAL LIGHT. AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT COOLING KEEP SWITCH ROOM TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 23-26o C. 1o C REDUCTION IN TEMPERATURE SETTINGS INCREASES THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY 3%. COMFORT COOLING USE A/C ONLY WHEN AMBIENT CONDITIONS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE SET THE A/C THERMOSTAT AT 25 26o C FOR COMFORT COOLING. COMPUTERS SWITCH OFF COMPUTERS BEFORE LEAVING SEAT FOR MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR. SWITCH OFF MONITORS WHILE LEAVING THE SEAT. MONITOR ALONE USES MORE THAN HALF THE SYSTEMS ENERGY. LIFTS USE STAIRCASE FOR CLIMBING UP / DOWN 1-2 FLOORS. SAVE ENERGY BURN CALORIE. POWER CONSUMPTION OF LIFT FOR DOWN TRAVEL IS MORE THAN THE UP TRAVEL - USE STAIRCASE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE. THINK BEFORE PRESSING LIFT CALL BUTTON. PRESS ONLY ONE CALL BUTTON, EITHER UP FOR GOING UP OR DOWN FOR GOING DOWN. PRESSING BOTH BUTTONS CAUSES AN EXTRA OPERATION OF LIFT WHICH IS SHEER WASTE OF ENERGY. WATER SAVE WATER SAVE ENERGY. IN BUILDINGS WITH HT SUPPLY, PUMP WATER DURING OFF PEAK HOURS i.e. 10.00 PM TO 6.00 AM TO AVAIL LOWER TARIFF.
