Energy efficiency!ππ‘β¨ Flashcards
How does saving energy help in mitigating climate change?
Saving energy plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving natural resources.
How can we practice energy efficiency in buildings(in 4 points)?
*Insulation-Proper insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, saving energy.
*Energy-Efficient Appliances-Using appliances with high energy efficiency ratings(like ENERGY STAR)reduces electricity consumption.
LED lighting-LED bulbs use less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
ΜSmart thermostat-Automatically adjust heating and cooling to optimise energy use.
How can industries be energy efficient(in 3 points)?
*Energy Management Systems-Implementing systems to monitor and optimise energy use in industrial processes.
*Efficient machinery-Upgrading to more energy-efficient machines and equipment
*Process optimization-Streamline manufacturing processes to minimise energy waste.
What measures should be taken by transportation for energy conservation(in 3 points)?
*Fuel-efficient vehicles-Using vehicles with higher fuel efficiency or hybrid/electric vehicles to reduce fuel consumption
*Public transportation-Promoting the use of public transit systems to decrease the number of individual car trips
*Non-motorised transport-Encouraging walking and cycling through better infrastructure
