Using Grey Water To Save in Arid Climates
Here are the top ten culprits that drain energy in your home:
When a new model entertainment system comes into the market, the older model is passed on to the children’s bedroom.
Today, one fourth of total domestic electricity is being used by computers and printers.
Mobile phone recharging done at night wastes energy because it absorbs electricity even after the battery has charged fully.
Plasma TVs has a power rating of 1.5 kW – the same energy can run twenty five light bulbs!
Set Top boxes are another drain on precious energy.
Hot water wastage, especially while brushing teeth accounts for an unimaginable amount of wasted energy.
Digital Radios are in a continual state of stand-by and therefore consumes more energy.
High end sophisticated game consoles demand high specification PCs and therefore they are energy intensive gadgets.
The Work from home idea has caught on but the convenience is paid for by fitting your home similar to an office with PC, printer, scanner, fax, phone and broadband.
This may sound irrelevant but divorced, widowed and unmarried people, by virtue of their living alone, contribute to serious consequences on energy usage – a many-member-ed household uses less energy per head than a single member household.
