In the first part of this series, we took into account the energy goes into the kitchen. You probably noticed when you ran through your kitchen almost every corner of the room, is something that uses energy. Therefore, the possibility of energy savings really are everywhere!

When we walked into the room, we were greeted by a general slightly different view of a room above the kitchen. Most rooms have large obvious that the kitchen, but have morewindows and most of the time, a bigger house. In some stores, may also be a living room fireplace. Focus will be the same. Making energy point of the room.

The obvious first step in most rooms are in the entertainment center. Here TV, DVD player, stereo, etc., wait. Older units of energy are mostly pigs. Older TV typically uses more energy than newer TV's of similar size. Unlike refrigerators and ovens, all electronics are usually notlose their effectiveness, as the electric age. It is the power consumption is typically the power they consume until they break. Generally not involve the replacement of older units, because they cost more in energy than their age (unless you go to new channels. Does very sexy.)

So here is their restricted use. Choose the electronic higher power first. TV can be a bit ', the radio can be used more generally. DVD players and recorders, often using less than 50watts, but they are clearly linked to the TV (which can not be used without TV). Cable, satellite or converter boxes in this category, normally used for electricity much more than DVD players or video. video game systems, particularly children Newest sophisticated criminals are large, often weighing more than 300 watts or more.

Move along … Most living rooms are generally well lit. If not enough natural light in (or when natural light disappears, ie at night)turn left. Most rooms have an average of four candles in them. They may limit the matches, floor lamps or table lamps. They can also serve as lights in the entertainment system.

The key here is to not only reduce energy consumption and reduce. You guessed it – here is your friend CFL (compact fluorescent bulbs). They can be in any place used for ordinary light bulbs used. The exceptions to dimmers in areas with high humidity or water. If youReplacing a 60 watt bulb with a CFL with 14 m equivalent lumens (power) can reduce energy consumption by about 75%. The savings can quickly multiply when you replace a few bulbs.

You can also try to use less lighting. If it makes sense to sit on floor lamps, and homeless, so they do. Again, reduce your use.

Although taking no action now, when it comes to use / replacement, it is important to create space (any problems)as we did in the kitchen area.

One room is often a direct opening to the outside world. Carefully check the door for leaks. energy losses through the doors (and Windows) can be more than 20% of energy loss of home, even if it is well insulated. The main thing you want to check here is seal the door (or window) is in contact with the frame. Make sure it is tight, no gaps, and seals. On a windy day, you hear a rustling sound, or mayfeel a slight breeze, there is a problem.

The same applies to chimneys, really. The damper must be locked when not in use to scratch, but is still easy to use. Fireplaces are a completely different aspect to the worm when it comes to energy loss. They have their advantages and disadvantages. Because of this, I will discuss in more detail in a later article.

Finally, there are radiators. In the living room and bedrooms is the number one and two criminals who line: Do not block the flow of heat or airregisters without blocking the airflow. In other words, do not place furniture near or in a register air, unless you have a plan for the flow of air (ie a plane) can be derived. The reason is simple – the dynamics of heat depends on a degree of airflow to mix with air. Without the hot air was moving much more slowly, the whole house. Forced air heating systems work under the principle of the movement of hot air and "forcing" in the rooms, making mix and heat the ambient airA target temperature. independent air resistance wire count on a flow of air to mix. Thus, blocking the airflow is actually restrict the air flow automatically to your heating and cooling less efficient.

Again, the key points you should remember to look everywhere energy is used and perhaps lost. This is where you can save on energy bills.

In the next part of the series, go to the bathroom and look for energy savingthere.
