How to save electrical energy at home
In our home we use lot of electrical equipment like TV, Freeze, Washing machine, Mp3 player, music system, computer laptop. But we have not adequate knowledge for how to use this electrical equipment in proper way.
在我們的家裡, 我們使用很多的電器設備, 比如電視, 冰箱, 洗衣機, MP3播放器, 音響設備, 筆電等, 但我們卻沒有足夠正確使用這些設備的知識.
Due to this ignorance we are paying more electricity bill which we are not actually use.
由於忽略了這些知識, 造成我們必須為我們沒有使用的電力多付出費用.
Energy consumption (and costs) 能源消秏
Do you know in actual we are consuming more electricity or paying more amounts what we actually not use it ?
你知道我們實際上消秏了更多沒有使用的電力, 也為此付出了更多的電費嗎?
According to the energy auditors we can easily save between 5 and 10% of their energy consumption (and costs) by changing our behavior such as switching electrical equipment off at the mains rather than leaving it on standby, turning off lights when they’re not being used
根據能源計算師的估算, 我們可以由改變我們使用電器的行為而節省5%~10%
的能源消耗; 例如關閉電器設備的主要開關, 而不是將它設定在待用狀態, 關掉所有不使用的照明燈.
By saving Electrical energy will directly reflected to saving money so it is very necessary to under stood ghost unit or amount which we are paying without using the appliances.
節省電源就能省下金錢, 所以必須了解我們有哪些幽靈耗能及其總量, 這些是我們沒有使用卻一直在付費的部份.
The major appliances in your home — refrigerators, clothes washers, dishwashers — account for a big chunk of your monthly utility bill. And if your refrigerator or washing machine is more than a decade old, you’re spending a lot more on energy than you need to.
家裡的主要電器設備 – 電冰箱、洗衣機、洗碗機就足以說明它們會占到你電費帳單的很大一部份. 如果你的電冰箱或洗衣機使用超過10年以上, 那你就會付出比你實際應支付的多更多.
Today’s major appliances don’t hog energy the way older models do because they must meet minimum federal energy efficiency standards. These standards have been tightened over the years, so any new appliance you buy today has to use less energy than the model you’re replacing. For instance, if you buy one of today’s most energy-efficient refrigerators, it will use less than half the energy of a model that’s 12 years old or older.
今日主要的電器設備不像早期產品那麼的消耗能源, 因為它們必須達到政府規定的最低效能標準. 這些年來所定的標準愈來愈嚴格, 所以你現在所買的新電器都比你要汰換掉的設備更節省能源. 舉例來說, 你在今時買的節能冰箱, 它所消耗的電力不到超過12年機齡舊冰箱的一半.
