Summer is here but I am not exactly looking forward to spending the day sweltering in heat and wishing for the night to come.
Even if I don’t get to wake up at an ungodly hour to prepare for food to be brought to school, I do not exactly welcome summer. AND summer means droves of noisy children playing on the street. Sigh.
Well at least we don’t have to turn on the light fixtures early so we get to save energy.
The things that help us feel cool however is another concern and these are the things that make power consumption go up several notches which ruin the energy conservation scheme 🙁
How can households practice energy conservation during summer? Here are some helpful tips:
- Try to open windows, especially those that do not have direct sunlight, to have the breeze enter your home.
- Wear light clothes that will not make you sweat.
- If you have to do house chores using electrical appliances, do it while the temperature is cooler.
- Air dry the clothes you washed.
- Check your air-conditioning unit to see if the filters are clean.
Do not forget to drink lots of water and wear clothes made of light materials 🙂
