Question
State any three measures to save energy.
Solution
- Use extra blankets and sweaters instead of using room heaters. Likewise, in summer, dress in light, cotton clothes to save on air conditioning costs and energy.
- Make sure that the houses are well insulated and, if heated or cooled, windows or doors are not left open. Raise shades on winter days, lower them in the summer. Seal all leaks. Block windows and doors with weather-strip tape and install blinds to reduce outside heat transfer.
- Use a low-flow showerhead, to reduce water consumption and energy usage to heat the water.
