Lighting
Artificial lighting consumes almost 15%of a household's electricity use.
You can reduce lighting energy use byselecting lighting and sources that useenergy more efficiently CFL: 21 watts * 8 hrs/day = P 5.04
Incandescent bulb: 100 watts * 8 hrs/day = P24

Compact Fluorescent Lamps
Offers the potential for significanteconomic and environmentalsavings. Compact fluorescent lamps use 70 - 80%
less energy Have a longer life usually 6000-
10,000 hours compared to 750 to
1000 hours for a standardincandescent bulb

Energy Saving Tips forA/Cs
Use a small electric fan to spreadcooled air around your room. Thisprevents the cooled air from layering
and settling to the floor.
Choose an air conditioning unit withhigh Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).The higher the EER, the more efficientis the unit.

Energy Saving Tips forA/Cs
Frequent changes in thermostat settings willincrease operating costs.
For cooling situations where you can
increase room temperature by 1C, youcould save up to 10% of operating costs. Keep all doors closed so that the
conditioned air is restricted to the arearequiring cooling.
Close curtains over large glass areas toprevent up to 16% of heat transfer

Routinely replace or clean aircon filters. Clogged, dirty filters block normal air flow
and reduce a system's efficiency
significantly. Keeping the filter clean can lower your airconditioner's energy consumption by 5% 15%.

Food Preservation/Preparation
The refrigerator is one of the largestenergy users in the household. Therefrigerator can account for as muchas 15 20% of your homes totalenergy usage. 8 cubit feet ref used 24 hrs/day = P56.16
If your refrigerator is more than 15years old, youll save on your electricbills if you replace it with a moreefficient unit.

Energy Saving Tips for Refsand Freezers
Defrost refs and freezers regularly. More than -inch ice build up of frost puts up
an extra load on the compressor motor.
Check refrigerator if it is not losing itscool because of a leaking gasket. Test the gasket by closing the door on a
peso bill. If the bill slips out when you pull onit, either the gasket needs a replacement orthe door needs adjusting.

Energy Saving Tips for Refsand Freezers
Frequent opening and closing of refscontributes to frost or ice buildupand causes compressor motor towork overtime. As much as possible, keep door closed.
Choose the right size or capacity ofrefrigerator suitable to your need. Largecapacity ref has bigger motor compressorthat requires more power to run.

Energy Saving Tips for Refsand Freezers
Dont place the refrigerator near the stove oragainst an uninsulated wall facing the sun.
Dont set the thermostat colder to get it startedon the theory that it will freeze faster.
Vacuum the refrigerator coils twice a year.Dirty coils make the refrigerator work harderand use more energy.

Energy Saving Tips forKitchen Appliances
Do not boil water in an open pan/pot. Coveredpot/pan will boil it sooner over less heat. Once itis boiling, keep it with a low flame as possible.
Always clean range top, burners and reflectors.
It helps to produce more heat consuming lessenergy. Preheat oven only for baked foods that require
precise temperatures such as breads, cookies,and cakes. Casseroles, roasts, and broiledfoods don't need to go into a warm oven.
Turn your oven off about five minutes beforecooking time is complete.

Energy Saving Tips forLaundry Appliances
Wash heavy and light weight laundry separately.Heavy laundry requires different setting. Plan to wash and dry full loads of laundry to save
on energy and water.
Pre-soak dirty clothes, probably the night before. Avoid having to run the washing machine twice. Turn off flat iron shortly before ironing the last
piece. It will stay hot just enough to finish the job. Electric clothes drier uses large amount of energy
to dry clothes. Practice using the old-fashionedclothes line.

How to deal with thesephantom loads
Unplug the appliance! However,constant plugging and unplugging is apain and wears out the plug and
socket quickly. Use quality extension cords with
multiple female plugs that are
switched on the plug strip. When theplug strip is switched off, all theappliances plugged into the strip aredisconnected from the power source.
