So far, electricity costs in many countries are quite low. The attention that you will pay the energy saving will save colossal funds today, and tomorrow it will give you a benefit.
Why protect energy?
Energy saving is the techniques and methods of effective and reasonable use of the planet's fuel and energy resources. Those. The task of energy conservation is to maintain resources, both directly related to the production of energy and indirectly regarding this issue. Economically consuming energy, we not only save coal and oil reserves for future generations, but we also protect the very possibility of life on the globe.
This dependence is known to everyone: energy is produced more - more greenhouse gases enters the atmosphere. The result is irreversible climate changes. Modern devices and technical discoveries allow you to save the planet, without neglecting their own comfort and safety.
Finally, the rational use of energy, in addition to moral satisfaction, gives us the bonuses are quite material. The introduction of effective lighting management elements reduces electricity costs. Moreover: the sparing use of equipment extends the term of its operation. So you will avoid expenses for the repair or replacement of devices that have failed.
We control lighting
Today, lighting can be automated using a variety of sensory equipment.
- Dimmers (light regulators) - smoothly change the intensity of the glow of the lamps, adjusting their power.
- Movement sensors - respond to an infrared radiation source and control lamps depending on its movement. The sensitivity zone of such sensors is usually not too high, they react to the active movement of a person. Effective in elevator halls, pantries, on stairwells - that is, in places that are not often visited, while they are slightly illuminated by natural light. Sensors are convenient to use on the street.
- Presence sensors are more complex highly sensitive devices that register the slightest movements, such as the movement of the fingers. Devices are indispensable in offices and educational audiences, offices, etc. Sensors of presence will not let the light go out, even if you sit and read for several hours calmly. In addition, the device can control another device, regardless of control over illumination.
- Tiemers are switches that make sure that the light is lit or dedicated in an accurately specified (programmed) time. The timer has another communication channel, with which it can turn it off-include an additional device. Now you can not worry that you went to bed, having forgotten to repay the light in the bathroom: the timer will turn off the lamps a few minutes after your departure, and at the same time turn off the working hift.
- Light sensors (twilight relay) are devices that control artificial light depending on the level of natural light. When solar activity decreases to a fixed level, the device recognizes and turns on the light. As soon as the amount of sunlight rises, the light goes out. Typically, such sensors work with the sensors of presence or movement.
A lot of useful things about the creation of energy -saving systems can be learned from books and other resources. Such a system fully pays for itself in a year of use.
The light that protects himself
Electricity can be saved not only with the help of sensors. Scientific and technological progress has long presented us with energy-saving light sources that are available to every consumer today.
Luminescent lamp or energy -saving lamp. Lamps are linear and compact, that is, with a different shape of the flask. The working resource of fluorescent light sources is 18, 000 hours (about 4 years). These parameters were obtained at 25 degrees.
LED lamps are environmentally friendly light sources, with light output more than fluorescent lamps. That is, we get the maximum saving of electricity without fears. LED lamps are durable, do not respond to frequent inclusions. Small dimensions, and the possibility of choosing color temperature make LED light sources by the leaders in the market of energy -efficient lighting.
