ENERGY CONSERVATION |
|
General |
- The Energy Conservation Act in India was executed by the
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in the year 2001.
- The BEE is a constitutional body which comes under
Government of India and helps in the development of policies
and strategies in order to reduce the energy misuse.
- Energy conservation needs to be rooted in the behaviour
of every human being to get more effect towards the plan of
energy conservation.
- One can save the energy by simple means such as turning
off the unnecessarily running fans, lights, submersible,
heater, combining car trips or other electric things of
daily usage.
- Fast increasing demands for energy creates the fear of
reducing or diminishing the natural resources.
- Substitution of the non-renewable resources of energy
with the renewable energy sources is of utmost importance.
- Energy or carbon taxes have been employed by the
governments in different countries.
- Tax on high energy consumption reduces the energy use by
the users as well as promotes efficient energy use among
users.
- People must be made aware that bright lighting at their
work places leads to the variety of problems like stress,
headache, blood pressure, fatigue and reduces work
efficiency of workers.
- On the other hand, natural day lighting enhances the
productivity level of workers and reduces the energy
consumption. Energy Conservation Measures include:
- Windows are the big energy conservation contributing
factors other than thermal curtains, Smart windows or
films.
- A big amount of energy can be saved by the natural
lightings and compact fluorescent lamp.
- Water conservation also leads to the better energy
conservation.
- Insulation also plays big role in energy
conservation by decreasing the thermal losses in winter
seasons as well as thermal gains in summer seasons.
