After a long rainy season summer has set it and it is getting very hot. The phenomenon of high temperature continues to rage on since global warming has taken effect resulting in very hot weather. There has been a spike in electricity use due to the hot weather increasing concerns about blackouts across the nation. The government and private sector are seeking various proposals and measures to reduce electricity consumption. This summer a culture of scrimping on power has been spreading amidst
growing concerns of a black out. Simply thinking ‘I don’t make much of a
difference’ can result in the collective participation of the September 15th
2011 blackout that took place.
The Tongil Group has taken the lead in reducing energy usage starting from
June when air conditioners begin to be turned on.
In accordance
with the energy saving policies laid out by the government, building
temperatures are set to 26 degrees and entrances are not permitted to be left
open when the air conditioning is running. Also, air conditioner use is
sometimes suspended. Efforts are being made to dim lights in the office when
everyone has gone for lunch, and setting computers to power saving mode when
not in use to prevent the unnecessary waste of electricity.
Also, using fans are effective in staying cool and boosting energy
efficiency for an efficient and cool summer.
You can save electricity by
reducing the use of the ‘warm’ setting on your rice cooker and only use it for
cooking. |
