Energy Saving Tips

Saving money on your energy bills means following energy-saving practices around your home. This list of ideas and information can help you make saving energy—and saving on energy costs—easier and more effective.
Even if you rent your home, there are many cost-efficient improvements you can make on your own. For example, adding attic insulation and storm windows can make sense if you plan to live there for a few years. By increasing your home energy efficiency, you'll save money on energy bills and be more comfortable as well. Your landlord may even agree to pay for materials or labor, or reduce your rent to compensate for your labor or expense.
Look for energy-saving tips on:
Water Heating
Refrigeration
Kitchen/Laundry
Lighting
Air Conditioning
Set the temperature of your refrigerator compartment at 36° to 38°F and the freezer at 0° to 5°F. For older models, check temperatures with a thermometer.
Make sure the fan vent is clean and keep the coils at the back of the refrigerator clear of dust. Dirty coils make the compressor work harder and use more electricity.
Keep the refrigerator door gasket (the plastic strip surrounding the door) airtight and in good condition. If needed, you may be able to repair or reattach it with glue. If not, the manufacturer or a local hardware store can supply you with a new one.
Keep your freezer tightly packed, adding bags of ice as needed to fill space.
Defrost whenever more than one-quarter inch of frost accumulates.
Arrange items in the refrigerator compartment to allow air to circulate freely. Keep liquids capped so they don't add to the humidity and make the compressor work harder.
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as you can. Organizing items makes it easier to find what you need quickly.
On humid days, use the "power saver" switch, if you have one. When this switch is on, small heaters keep the outside of your refrigerator from "sweating." On other days, turn the switch off.
Defrosting frozen food in the refrigerator helps keep the refrigerator cold.

Energy Audit
Energy Management Cell of Energyjef is established to promote energy efficiency to help Indian Industry.
Energy Audit consists of the following steps:
Visit to plant for preliminary energy study. This is required to estimate
the saving potential Detailed energy audit of the plant after identifying the saving potential done by preliminary energy study Submission of
Detailed Project Report (DPR) based on the past experience and energy audit done.
DPR covers technical and commercial feasibility of energy efficient proposals
Monitoring of implementation
An energy efficiency proposal should evaluate the amount of annual saving to be achieved.
Energy consumption profile of the industry will reduce substantially through adaptation of energy
efficient technologies and fine tuning of present system. Industries can meet the challenge of increasing
costs by improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption and thereby costs.

An energy manager's role is to manage both the company's current energy needs and its future energy strategy in an environment where supply and price fluctuations can have a significant impact on business performance. In general terms, an energy manager is part strategist, part project manager and part change manager. They will be able to focus both on the technical aspects of their work, and on issues of communication and involvement.
The energy manager will be someone who is interested in new developments, and who will want to assess and test new ideas and new ways of solving problems. They will also be someone who can plan and take a long-term view, especially as savings accrue in both long and short timeframes. They should be good communicators, with a solid understanding of how to introduce change in complex environments.
The energy manager will be a multi-skilled individual with:
an in-depth understanding of the company as well as its internal and external environments
good consultation, negotiation and liaison competency
sound knowledge of production and site services
solid general technical background and preferably engineering experience
project management experience, especially in new systems implementation.
