Your home may be designed with effective approach to energy? Electricity is a renewable resource (you can do again and again) that comes from the processing of other energy sources as a provocation. Today, the electricity supply to households has decreased due to the increasing depletion of energy sources used to produce electricity, the kinetic energy of water, oil and other resources such as coal and geothermal energy. This has resulted in electricity prices are also more expensive and thinner. Remember to turn off the power demand of the administration tools are not needed during certain hours of the night?
The room in which to live our daily lives, they should plan to be healthy and energy efficient

In designing the house, if you’re concerned about the energy problem will be able to save money on electricity. Now, time to each owner to pay attention to that from the outset in the design of a house. The term is quite popular these days is “energy efficient homes,” which was actually a trend that began in developing countries more advanced in our country, because of the energy crisis and rising prices electricity.
Energy-efficient homes can be done through the design of the residence. These savings not only allows the use of electrical equipment, but also the savings that can be “helped” by design. For example, no daily use of electricity for all artificial lighting of the lights in the house. At noon, no need to use air conditioning to cool the air, because our house is fresh and cool without air conditioning.
Artificial lighting (lights)
The information necessary to make us feel good eyes to see and activities. This level of comfort is relative for each person. There are people who are comfortable with a relatively low light (dark) and some rooms are comfortable flooded with light. If the perception of lack of light, most use the solution is to add artificial lighting with lamps installed. Artificial lighting is not necessary when the natural lighting during the day thats enough.
A room with a bright white or other, may be much brighter because the light reflected from the wall space. Another wall of dark color absorbs light.

If we can maximize the use of natural sunlight from morning until afternoon, why do we have to use artificial lighting? Thus, the savings that can be done in this case is to maximize the use of natural light to illuminate the room in the morning until the afternoon without the aid of artificial light.
The path is through the spaces of good planning perletakan, and may be an alternative supplier of light needed for activities in a comfortable house. The comfort level is, of course, a parent and you really can measure the level of comfort in the amount of light entering the house. The designer or architect, in this case make the best assumptions to estimate the amount of sunlight can penetrate into the house, whether direct or reflected.
The architect has a variety of reference to determine the amount of light that will come in the house, among others;
The architect must also have sufficient knowledge to allow sunlight to enter to support activities in the residence. In this case, the architect, it is hoped that through experience. In addition to specific skills that can help estimate the amount of light in the room is also in the science of architecture, the result may be a reference in designing the house, which determines the amount of light, the window is necessary, and the number of lumens (unit of measurement of the intensity of light) must be present in a room.
Also note the amount of sunlight outside the atmosphere can lead to a warm room, which is also reflected by the use of air conditioning and natural penghawaan. When our homes with air conditioning, heat, due to excessive solar radiation has also led to charges of air conditioning has increased, so that the burden and cost of electricity is also swollen.
Tips for saving electricity include:
The use of efficient lamps electricity than incandescent lamps
Turn off lights when you leave the room or not to use the room.
Make planning AMPU points are effective, ie do not use a switch to turn on lights at once, because if we turn on a light, all lights, etc..
Install lights placed low enough and can use more space.
Put the switch easy dihidup-off place as near the door, so make it easy to turn off lights when you leave the room.
Air Conditioning (AC) air conditioning
The same thing with the lighting, temperature and humidity are relatively air for all. A high temperature comfortable for the human body is the degree Celsius. At this temperature comfortable, the body can be metabolized normally. When the environment is too cold or too hot, the body will react. If it is too cold we shiver, blood vessels narrow. If it is too hot, your body tries to dissipate the heat through the skin, breathing and so on.
AC needed to help achieve the temperature comfortable enough for us. In our country, especially in big cities get warmer, the presence of CA is to cool the air. Meanwhile, in a cold country or 4 Musin, air conditioning is required, which can raise the air temperature (heating).

AC collected a large quantity of electric energy consumption. The use of AC may be less effective if the air conditioning to work harder and consume more electricity. Significantly reduce the use of AC menghilangkah even the need for air conditioning by using natural penghawaan.The definition of natural penghawaan is a way to drain the fresh air helps to cool the air. When using air conditioning, air possible in the room well insulated.
In the case of using a fan, for example. The airflow of the fan faster than the air molecules in contact with skin and helps eliminate body heat. But the air temperature remains the same, so that the airflow is because we feel colder. Using the AC also cools the air so that air can lower the temperature, without air circulation, the atmosphere was “hot.”
Plants can help lower the air temperature around the house, because their existence absorbs ultraviolet light, filtration of air through the process of photosynthesis. No wonder if the house is surrounded by plants was much colder, especially if the room has a high ceiling. Plants are strongly encouraged to provide resources for health in housing, including the cold and fresh air.
Tips for air cooling:
When using air conditioning, keep the air conditioning did not leave the room. Clean the air conditioning on a regular basis every month or call the personnel services / cleaning CA
In homes, the rooms are cool enough not to be conditioned, perhaps the room as the bedroom should be conditioned only if deemed necessary.
Use a high ceiling for the fresh air in the room. Stick with the ceiling tiles in the ceiling, because the space above and below the ceiling tiles will prevent the heat from the tile surface.
When you do not use air conditioning, use windows that can be opened and closed, with the hope that we can determine the amount of the contribution of natural air.
Plant lots of trees and shade of the house. Use the park area or land not used for buildings with a large degree possible.
Kitchen equipment and food, pressure cooker, refrigerator, hot, and so on
Rice frostbite hot all day? Of course, a large amount of electricity consumed is not it? In fact in modern life difficult to avoid, there are electrical devices that can not be avoided, should be lit all day. For the refrigerator, keep the refrigerator door was always closed tightly and leaks, and avoid hot foods in it because it would force people to work harder and consume more electricity.
TV, tape recorders and computers
In this case, the computer plays a role in the work, learning and entertainment in the home.Television also plays a role in providing entertainment. The electrical energy required for both types of devices is large enough so that advises when not in use, then it must be disabled.
