Ensure Energy Efficiency In Households With The Help of Following Technologies

Energy efficiency is important as it is among the easiest and most cost effective solutions to fight against climate change, to improve the quality of air around us, and to reduce energy costs for everyone.

A lot of energy saving solutions can be adopted to practice energy efficiency at individual level. Let us take a look at a few of them.

• Saving Energy Bulbs: You can save a great amount of energy be replacing the conventional light bulbs in your home with better options like CFLs, LEDs and solar lighting. Switching to these options will cut down your energy expenses by as much as 75 percent.
• Programmable Heating Thermostats: Since a majority of the homes these days are centrally air conditioned, a programmable heating thermostat can be of great use. The thermostat can be programmed to reduce the energy consumption when you are away from the home, saving you up to 50 percent on your bills.
• Energy Saving Surge Protectors: There are devices that consume electricity even when they are power down and thus, add to the overall costs. You can get rid of these extra loads with the help of surge protectors.
• Star Energy Appliances: Look for appliances with the Energy Star logo as those are specially crafted to cut down your bills by minimal energy consumption.
• Motion Sensor Lights and Light Timers: Motion sensor lights turn on and off depending upon the movement of individuals in premises. They turn on upon detecting presence and turn off automatically when they do not feel any presence.

How Can The Latest Building Technologies Including Insulation Can Help Reduce Energy Consumption?

The involvement of technological advances in the construction industry is making energy efficiency easier and more cost effective like never before. These energy efficiency building technologies are promoting the use of environment friendly material not just in Kenya but several other locations including Seychelles. Besides having the capability to cut down the energy expenses to a minimal, these are safer as well. Since, insulation provides a proper sealing against the external moisture, noise and air, it is considered to be a key component to building a structure that can help in reducing energy consumption.

Gone are the days when constructing a green home was a tedious thing to do. With the introduction of Insulated Concrete Forms, building a structurally sound and an energy efficient home has become easier than it has ever been. It is a bit sad that not everyone considers the amount of energy that goes into the building of a new home and that is why; people need to be made aware about the new and improved energy efficiency technologies that help in minimizing the energy consumption.

When you reduce energy consumption, you automatically contribute towards reducing the following:

• Fossil fuel consumption
• Greenhouse gas emissions
• The number if power plants being brought on line
• Transmission and distribution line capacity constraints
• The amount of electricity lost and wasted along the power lines

Icopower ESCO is an energy service company that is experienced in offering delivery mechanism not just to provide the maximum amount of energy efficiency resources but also, in providing power quality solutions.
