It is recommended that you replace the existing bulbs in your residential or commercial building with CFLs so that you can get bright lights in a smarter way.
Office Equipment
Most office equipment are left on for several hours a day. A recent study shows that new energy-efficient designs and power management appliances not only save energy but also help to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions which is the primary reason of global warming. Computers, fax machines, printers and other equipment run for hours in a commercial building. Thus, star rated monitors, hard drive and other electronics parts can lower the power consumption as they turn the appliances into sleep mode after a designated period of inactivity.
Windows and Skylights
Replacing the old windows with star rated ones can save you a significant amount of money. Traditional windows and skylights are always draughty and this means they are letting air to come inside the building. This in turn can damage the air conditioner due to constant seeping of cool air stored in the room. It not only consumes a high amount of electricity but also damages the compressor inside the air conditioning machine. Thus, installing star rated windows and skylights is very necessary as they provide great sealing with the frame.
It is better late than never. Conduct a star rated assessment in your building right away to save your next generation from the coming dooms day.
