Great East Japan Earthquake has occurred.
I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the people in the affected areas.
What can we do away from the disaster area?
I live a disability due to rolling blackouts, but this is also what we must endure as the same people. Let's become a master of energy saving and saving.
Electric Power
Air conditioner:
The electricity bill changes by 10% depending on the setting change. It is said that it is better to be less than 20°C in winter.
By the way, all households in Japan change the temperature of air conditioners in summer from 27 ° C to 28 ° C, the temperature of air conditioners in winter from 21 ° C to 20 ° C, and further reduce the hourly usage time every day, 19.3 billion kWh of electricity can be reduced annually. This is equivalent to approximately 5.29 million kWh of electricity per day.
Electric pot:
Electric pot also consumes power when keeping hot water warm. It seems that you can save about 2,300 yen a year by unpluging the plug from the outlet without keeping it warm. With thermos, you can keep warm without using electricity.
Microwave oven:
The average standby power is about 5W, which costs about 11.8 yen per day.
By removing the outlet when you are not in use, you can save about 82.3 yen per month and about 987.6 yen per year.
Hot water wash toilet seat:
Close the lid of the heating toilet seat to keep it warm. The electricity cost will be reduced by about 15%.
It seems that you can save about 104 yen per month and about 1,248 yen per year.
Rice cooker:
The average power consumption during operation exceeds 600W. ・It consumes 10 to 30W even when it is warm.
Full automatic washing machine:
By selecting a speed course, you can save about 60% of electricity bills compared to the Omakase course. It also saves water.
It seems that electricity costs can be saved about 352 yen per month, about 4,224 yen per year.
As can be said in all electrical appliances, standby power accounts for 1% of power consumption.
Isn't the outlet of equipment that is not frequently used (such as air conditioners in unmanned rooms) or plugged?
Gas/Water Edition
Kitchen:
・If the stove is dirty, the thermal power will be weakened and the energy loss will increase.
・By wiping off the water droplets at the bottom of the pot and then putting them on fire, the energy required for the water droplets to evaporate.
・When washing dishes, soak the dishes in water for a while and then wash them, even if the amount of water used is small, it will fall neatly.
・Cut the clothes and towels that you no longer wear into about 10cm square, remove the dirt on the dishes after eating curry, etc. before washing.
A piece of cloth is disposable, so unlike cleaning the kitchen with a fukin, there is no hassle to wash the fukin.
Because it is cut small, you can make a lot of things from a single piece of clothes. Let's use it for daily kitchen work.
Bath:
Stop showers frequently. If only one person takes a bath, the shower will save water. The remaining hot water goes to the washing machine!
Others = By eating seasonal food, it is possible to warm or cool from the inside of the body.
Root vegetables and spices (green onions, ginger, peppers, etc.) warm the body, and summer vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers are said to have the function of cooling the body.
