How do we use energy efficiently, as in ways to use energy efficiently?

Question

I need this for my Science Project...your help is very much appreciated

Answer 1

We can choose to buy more energy efficient versions of many things we use in our everyday lives. For example:
- motor cars
- domestic boilers
- air conditioning units
- fridges and freezers
- dishwashers
- light bulbs
- washing machines and dryers

In addition there are all sorts of ways in which we can conserve energy:

- using our motor cars and appliances less
- installing insulation in our houses
- running our central heating at a lower temperature or our air conditioning at a higher temperature
- buying less in the way of consumer products all of which take energy to produce or transport

Answer 2

The most effcient energy saving device is the OFF switch.
Reduce consumption.

so the best way to use energy efficiently is with intelegence and awareness.
However, this is very difficult if you live in a culture based on infinite industrial growth and unsustainable consumer consumtpion.
So for your science project can I suggest taking a systems approch to energy, and not just looking at individual components in isolation.

Answer 3

1. Switch off light fixtures that arent being used
2. When walking away from your computer for more than 5 minutes turn the screen off.
3. Walk short distance and avoid using a car
4. Dont watch TV..read books
5. Dont play video games...play chess instead

Answer 4

insulation reduces energy loss by heat

Answer 5

its not how much energy we use. its how we make it.

Answer 6

maybe first we should consider how to use sentences efficiently.

Mass transit is the first thing i think of.
