                                                  Read to Learn!



                                                 An  energy  conservation  measure  is  a  single  initiative

                                                 undertaken to reduce the energy consumption of a particular

                                                 piece of equipment or a certain aspect of essential building
                                                 services.  Energy conservation measures imply a combination

                                                 of  several  energy  saving  initiatives  to  reduce  energy

                                                                                                 27
                                                 consumption across an entire facility or building.




                   Some energy Conservation measures that can be applied in your homes, buildings, and
                                               transport are presented below:


                     i.   Buildings

                              •  Use LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs.

                              •  Use focus lighting.

                              •  Turn off lights when not in use.

                              •  Use motion sensors.

                              •  Use smart faucets.

                              •  Use energy-efficient/inverter air conditioners.
                              •  Change out old inefficient refrigerators with inverter technology refrigerators.

                              •  Use natural lighting and ventilation as much as possible.
