Energy Saving Tips for Refrigerator
 Allow the hot food to cool first, then put in the fridge.
 Do not overfill your refrigerator : Excessive loading of refrigerator,
create trouble in the circulation of cold air inside.
 Set the refrigerator temperature as per need : Refrigerator set to
lower than needed will increase your energy consumption by - 20 to
25 %.
 Don’t open refrigerator door unnecessarily : Frequently opening
of refrigerator door will increase energy consumption by 7%.
 Clean it regularly : By cleaning up the condenser coil, you can
reduce energy consumption by approx. 5%.
 To get extra saving go for star labelled refrigerator: Old inefficient
refrigerators consumes as much as 40% more energy than a five star
rated refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips for AC
 Set the room temperature between 25°C to 27°C.
 When a hot day is expected, turn on the air conditioner early rather
than wait until the building becomes hot.
 Adjust air conditioner louvres towards the ceiling (as cool air falls).
 Have your unit serviced regularly, and keep filters clean.
 Install your air conditioner on the shady side of the building and make
sure the air flow around it isn’t obstructed.
 Always prefer a higher star rated air conditioner than a lower rated
one. Although higher rated air conditioners are a bit more costly than
lower rated ones, but the energy conservation that they provide will
act as a profitable investment in the long run.

 Energy Saving Calculation of LED

Example: Rated Power Consumption = 9 W

5 Star Energy performance = 120 lm/Watt
Lumen maintenance = 120*9 = 1080 lm
Base Star Energy Performance = 79 lm/Watt
Base power required for the same lumen maintenance = 1080/79 = 14W
Energy Saving = (14-9)*1200 /1000~6 kWh/year

 Energy Saving Tips for Lighting
 Look for lumens, not Watts - Buy the light bulb that gives off the
amount of light you need. Higher lumens mean brighter light.
 Dirty tube lights and bulbs absorb 50 percent of the light so dust them
regularly
 Use natural lighting during the day.
 Turn off lights when not in use.

Energy & Cost Saving for Ceiling Fan

Example: Air Delivery = 220 cubic meter/minute

Service value (Base Star) = 3.2
Power consumption (Base Star) = 220/3.2 = 69W
5 star power consumption = 220/4 = 55W
Operation: 12 hours a day, for 300 days.
Energy Saving = (69-55)*12*300/1000= 51 kWh/year
Cost Saving (Rs. 8/unit)= 51*8 = 408
