Energy saving can be started from our own homes. Building or renovating a house should not just concerned with mere style, but there are tips for the home can be environmentally friendly.
There are several options and opportunities that we can do against the movement of energy saving in our homes. These steps are very good to be applied by peers when they want to build a new house or renovate the house. Sometimes the steps seem very simple and not crossed our minds. In fact, if traced, immense benefits to the surrounding environment. What are they?
Lighting with high efficiency.
At the market sold energy saving lamps claiming. The lights are indeed valuable in the initial purchase of relatively expensive, but if we ever think about the cost of his life? Poor quality lamps must be more frequently damaged and require replacement, and that means spending money, right? So when shopping for electronic equipment, try to choose a really energy efficient.
Lighting the sky and daylight.
God gave the gift of the sun and sky that can serve as a source of light in the morning until late afternoon. There are two strategies for lighting, side lighting and top. When applied to planning and good design in our homes, it is not impossible to replace the function of the electric light and ultimately save on electricity costs.
Shadowing outer space, the skin of the building, and ventilation.
Building material with skin the thermal conductivity resistance value that will most greatly affect the comfort room. Likewise with shadowing aperture, glass, or terrace at the implications with thermal comfort residents. We must remember the hot sun affect the temperature of space in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Materials selection and design of shadowing and good ventilation openings will have implications on the comfort and energy, especially when we often use the air conditioner or fan.
The roof of the cold.
It’s rather strange to hear this term. The purpose of this term is the roof covering material that has the thermal conductivity resistance value is quite large and has a good ability to reflect heat. Closing the roof from the ground or ceramic material is very good for comfort in the room temperature. Especially when added to the use of pieces of aluminum foil that is placed under the roof covering. This point relates to the use of electrical energy to AC, so AC is not working “hard” in the daytime.
High-efficiency appliances.
This point is not directly related to the physical building, but very influential with the cost of electricity that we spend every month. Now the choice of brand and specification tool more diverse household. Choose energy-efficient electricity so that it has a mild to life-cost operations.
