Energy Conservation vs. Energy Efficiency…

Energy Conservation: Using what you already have in the most

economical way. Example: Turning off Lights when Leaving

the Room Energy Efficiency:

Replacing Existing Equipment with newer equipment that uses less energy to do the same job.

Example: Replacing Incandescent Light Bulbs with Compact Fluorescents

ENERGY CONSERVATION

For Homes

Residential Energy Conservation

Turn off equipment, appliances and lights when not in use.

Keep windows and doors closed during heating and cooling operations.

Use room fan in place of air conditioner. Keep refrigerator coils clean and units

operating between 37°-42° F; freezers between 0°-5° F

Wash only full loads of laundry and dishware.

Wash or rinse laundry in cold or warm water.

Residential Energy Conservation (cont)

Set water heater to “low” (120°F); or “med” (140°F) if dishwasher is present.

Don’t preheat the oven before use. Cook several complete dishes in the oven

at the same time. Reduce swimming pool temperatures as

well as number of months of heater operation.

Keep swimming pool cleaning and heating equipment clean and in good working condition.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

For Businesses

Business Energy Conservation

Put up signs in offices/rooms/bathrooms to remind employees & customers to turn off lights when leaving a room.

Set Thermostat at 68 during winter and 78 during summertime. Open shades and blinds during the winter, and close them during the summer.

Keep Doors and Windows closed while running Air Conditioning.

Try not to use compressed air for cleaning, use less intensive methods such as blowers or sweeping. Turn off compressors when leaving.

Ensure doors and windows have good working seals.

Business Energy Conservation (cont) Make sure lighting controllers (time clocks and

photocells) are working and properly set. Make sure exterior lights are off during the daytime. Perform regular Maintenance on equipment to ensure it

operates at the highest level. De-Lamp in areas with bright enough lights, and be sure

to turn off lights when day lighting is sufficient. When possible, be sure to pump or use the least

amount of water possible (even if you are on city water this reduces the amount they have to pump).

Inspect Refrigeration Coils on Equipment and replace Air Filters on a regular basis.

Business Energy Conservation (cont) In schools, try to limit after hours activities to just a few

central zones so you can turn off HVAC for other areas. Do not block air flow to HVAC vents to allow system to

operate efficiently. Set all Computer monitors to turn off after 4 minutes

instead of running a screen saver. Make sure to turn off all coffee makers, copy machines,

printers, and computers when not in use or business is closed.

“ENERGY EFFICIENCY”

For Homes

Residential Energy Efficiency

“LOW COST”:

Install energy-saving showerheads and faucet aerators.

Caulk/seal around any place where air can penetrate and/or escape.

Install an Energy Star programmable thermostat to prevent unnecessary heating and cooling. For a more progressive approach try a Smart Thermostat

Fix defective and dripping faucets. Wrap older water heaters and plumbing with

approved insulating materials. Use a pool cover to prevent heat loss through

evaporation.

Residential Energy Efficiency (cont) “LOW COST” (cont):

Replace Incandescent or CFL light bulbs w/ LEDs. Install window shades and covers. Use Energy Star hardwired indoor and outdoor

light fixtures, or consider LED equivalent replacements.

Use motion sensors for indoor and outdoor lighting.

Use dimmer switches and timers for lighting. Provide shading for your air conditioner. Buy Energy Star appliances and equipment

whenever applicable.

Residential Energy Efficiency (cont) “INVESTMENT”:

Have heating/cooling ducts tested for air leakage. Consider the use of a whole house fan to cool your

house. Insulate walls and attic space. The key is to educate

yourself as there are several options out there! Consider Energy Star equipment for replacement of

clothes washers, refrigerators, water heaters Variable Speed Pull Pump for filtration
