Older machines spend an average of 3.5 kwh of electricity during one washing cycle, and are one of the major consumers in the household, considering that about 90 percent of the total energy consumption per wash is higher for heating water. However, many of us do not know that if the laundry is not too dirty, the pre-wash program can be skipped or monitored at a lower temperature, when washing in the machine.

In addition to saving, it is recommended that you always use cold water for the rinse program, and do not worry, it will not affect the quality of washing but will certainly contribute to reducing energy. In addition, always charge the machine to the maximum. A half full machine is not worth it, so you will not have the whole process twice the same amount twice, and the overwhelmed machine consumes more electricity with worse results. Washing machine turn on at night when electricity prices lower.

When buying a washing machine give priority to those with economical programs, as the centrifugation speed should be at least 500 rpm. In addition to wiping machines, washer dryer is one of the largest home energy consumers and also one of the high electricity bidders. Therefore, energy efficiency experts advise you to wear clothes whenever you can dry in the air. That’s why energy efficiency experts advise you to dry your laundry outside whenever you can. Except that drying clothes on the beach saves electricity, it also keeps clothes.

Although it might sound like a lesson from school textbooks, these small and simple tricks will help you to be energy efficient. And in addition there will be a reduced energy, there will be a reduced electricity bills.

We all certainly in our home own devices such as TV, computer, laptop, DVD, etc., that instead of shutting them down when not in use, regularly leave to stand-by mode. Although many of us do not know and do not pay attention to these things, know that in this way the energy is lost.

The data that the “screen saver” will reduce electricity consumption is a big misconception. Just turn off the monitor from the power supply, will save energy. What most of us do, and should not be we leave the charger plugged in even when we do not charge our mobile devices. Also, the number of those who do not turn off the computer and TV, after use is small, which contributes to the loss of energy.

Although the amount of lost energy is not large, about 10 -15 vats per device, in some cases it may be even more. If multiple devices are continuously in standby mode it can amount to up to 10 percent of household energy consumption. The average household consumes around 3500 kW / h, per year. It is considered that 300 to 500 kW / h relate precisely to the devices in the stand by. In addition, the bills for electricity are bigger. Would not you like to spend that money on something else?

How to prevent unnecessary loss of energy?

Very simple. To begin with, detect in your home and create the habit of turning off all the power outlets so they can no longer lose power. When a computer and a monitor are not needed for work there is no need to be plugged in. If you have charged your mobile device, disconnect the charger from the socket. If you have finished watching, turn off the TV from power until the next time.

The biggest effects of reducing electricity consumption in households can be achieved by simultaneously implementing sound savings and efficient use of energy. This means that if household electrical appliances are used in a certain way, they can achieve quite significant financial savings.

It is never too late to start implementing effective household power measures. If  little tips like these become the everyday life, it can make a small, but valuable savings on an annual basis.

Over the last few years there has been much talk of global warming. It is a real problem that is present because of the increasing use of energy sources and the unlimited application of technology in all spheres of life. In the framework of “Bosnia Energy Efficiency project”, superhero Beepster visits elementary schools across the Federation of BiH to get closer to the youngest population and taught them why large changes in time or the extinction of the plant and animal world are taking place.

This time, Beepster visited students in elementary schools “Ivan Gundulić”, “VI elementary school” and “Antun Branko Šimić” in Mostar, and briefly interrupted regular classes in order to convey an important message. “Your planet Earth is in great danger,” warned Beepster.

His mission to the planet Earth is that through an educational and entertainment workshop, students explain that combustion of fossil fuels gets energy and releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

It allows the atmosphere to retain part of the sun’s radiation and heat, thus preventing the cooling of the Earth. However, large consumption of fossil fuels in everyday life generates too much of this gas. This is why global warming is taking place that significantly affects climate change on Earth.

” You do not want floods, droughts, and the world without forests” – said Beepster, and shared tips for smarter use of energy to save Earth together. “Do not leave the water running while brushing. Use a fan instead of an air conditioner. With your behavior you can become heroes and change the world. ”

At Beepster’s workshops, the students had the opportunity to take a look at the animated film about climate change and to check their knowledge of energy efficiency. Beepster also introduced Beepomat, a device that easily illustrates how irrational use of energy from fossil fuels leads to global warming.

The schoolchildren were impressed, and they promised to Beepster that they will start applying his simple tips right away.

After being convinced he found his new helper, little heroes, ready to take part in changing everyday habits and save the cities they live in, and the whole planet, Beepster, continued his journey.

People on Earth need energy for everyday life. It uses a lot of energy, even those we do not need, from sources that can not be renewed, such as oil and coal. Fabrics, automobiles, the warmth of our home, mostly result from the burning of these kinds of energy. However, it is common knowledge that we have these derivatives in certain quantities and that their burning leads to the greatest problem facing the Earth and that is global warming.

Regular classes in elementary school “Cazin 1” in Cazin and “Jajce” Kruščica in Jajce interrupted the sudden visit of the Beepster super hero, who came from another planet to warn students to this problem and conveyed an important message: “Your planet Earth is in great danger,” warned Beepster.

” You do not want floods, droughts, and the world without forests” – said Beepster, and shared tips for smarter use of energy to save Earth together. “Summer arrives, temperatures can be high and probably you will try to refresh in a variety of ways. But remember, do not leave the water running while brushing. Use a fan instead of an air conditioner. With your behavior you can become heroes and change the world. ”

Beepster also introduced Beepomat, a device that easily illustrates how irrational use of energy from fossil fuels leads to global warming.

In addition to knowledge and advice on energy efficiency, Beepster has distributed educational brochures to the students with tips to follow if they want to become heroes and save planet Earth. Along with the brochures, he also handed the gift to watches that will remind them every day that it is time to help the Earth for a better future for all of us, primarily children and young people, where the world remains.
