The first part of this series, we looked at the energy in 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 need morewindows and most of the time, a bigger house. In some homes, the salon can also be a fireplace. Focus will be similar. 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. mature specimens of energy are mostly pigs. Older TV is generally used more energy than newer TV shows of the same size. Unlike refrigerators and ovens, all electronics are usually notthey lose their effectiveness, such as age power. It is the power consumption is typically the power they consume until they break. So generally not involved with the replacement of older power plants because they cost more energy than their age (unless you go to new channels. Does very sexy.)

So here is their limited use. Select electronics at high power first. TV can be very small radio can be used more generally. DVD players and recorders, often using less than 50watts, are naturally linked to the TV (which can not be used without TV). A cable or satellite converter boxes in this category, normally used for electricity much more than DVD 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 (or when daylight disappears, for example 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 be used as lights in entertainment system.

The key here is not only to reduce but to reduce energy consumption. You guessed it – is your friend here 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 moisture. If youReplacing a 60 watt bulb with 14 lumens with an M to an equivalent CFL (power) can reduce energy consumption by about 75%. Savings can reproduce quickly when you only replace a few bulbs.

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

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

A room usually has 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 most important things 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, we hear a sound, or noise 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 worms 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 offenders line: Do not block the flow of heat or airregisters without blocking the airflow. That is, sitting next to a mobile or air sign, unless a plan for the airflow (ie a plan) can be derived. The reason is simple – the dynamics of warmth depends on some degree of airflow to "mix" of the atmosphere. Without the hot air was moving much more slowly, the whole house. forced air heater working under the principle of transferring hot air and "strength" in the rooms, making the mixing and heating the ambient airA target temperature. independent air resistance wire count on a flow of air for mixing. Thus, blocking the flow of air that effectively restrict the airflow, automatically your heating and cooling less efficient.

Here again, the main points you should remember looking everywhere energy is used and possibly fall. This is where you can save on energy bills.

In the next part of the series, go to the bathroom and control for energy savingsthere.
