Simple Ways To Be Environmentally Friendly and Save Money
It is often said, home ownership is an essential
component of most people's dream, but, while, it should be, once someone has
bought the home of their dreams (or the best they might afford, etc), it is
important to consider economic considerations and/ or challenges, as well as
hopefully, being environmentally concerned and responsible. There are numerous green housing
possibilities you can adapt in Kopar Condos, in Newtown, District 09, near
Newton MRT Station, but very few is briefly explained. After all, it doesn't help the environment,
in any meaningful way, if one can't afford to do what's necessary, and/ or
needed. Some of them are explained below
you can follow at Kopar Condos, in Newtown, District 9 are:
1. Energy - Efficient Lights: What type of light bulbs
are you using? There are bulbs available, today, which are far more energy -
efficient, often using less than a fourth of the wattage, required by a
conventional bulb. Doing this, not only saves energy costs, but helps the
environment!
2. Turn lights off: The bane of many parents of
teenage children, is having to follow them around the house, in order to turn
the lights off, behind them. In Newtown MRT Condo establishments
have installed motion detectors in rooms such as bathrooms, hotel guest rooms,
certain hallways, etc, in order to save money, on their energy costs. Turning
lights off, is simple and easy, but we often fail to pay sufficient attention,
to the simplest of tasks.
3. Energy efficient appliances: Many older appliances
are far less energy - friendly, than newer ones. These include: air
conditioners; stoves/ ranges/ ovens; refrigerator/ freezers; etc. Imagine how
our environment might benefit if more people addressed these issues?
4. Insulation:
Quality insulation reduces waste, whether someone lives in a warmer or colder
climate. Consider the rating of the insulation, and pay attention to areas
where there is often a lot of loss, such as from outlets, roofs, etc. In cold
weather, one would use less heat, and in hot weather, less air conditioning.
5. Doors and windows: Examine your doors and windows.
Are your doors hung properly?and are they made and fitted properly? Is there
any air - leakage, coming from your windows? Are your windows and doors, energy
- efficient?
6. Air leaks: Are there any air - leaks, coming from
windows, doors, air conditioning openings, your attic and/ or basement?
7. Thermostat: What temperature to you keep your
thermostat at? Every one degree, you raise the setting in summer, or lower, in
the winter, saves lots of energy and expense! Statistics show, setback -
thermostats, are energy - efficient, inexpensive to install (pay for themselves
quickly), and, therefore, save money.
In Kopar Condos District 09, owners have
taken all the necessary steps to be eco-friendly and energy saver and if we all
do our small part, even incrementally, we will make a big difference, for the
better, in our environment, as well as saving lots of money.
