Site EcologyEnergy/Water Saving Methods for Resident Participation
- Bicycle lots are provided for leisure and to promote healthy living.
- A Green Corner is provided to encourage recycling.
- "Greening" of the planters and balcony.
Residents can also do a part in their daily lifestyle to cut down their energy & water usage. Some helpful tips on energy/water saving methods for household equipment are listed below.
Air-conditioning
- The air-conditioning unit achieves cooling by removing heat from the room, consuming electricity in the process. Thus, reducing the amount of heat gained by the room will reduce the amount of electricity consumed. Sun-shading devices, blinds or non-reflective solar control film can be used to keep our heat gained by the room through windows.
- The air-conditioning unit's thermostat senses room temperature to regulate the operation of the air-conditioning unit. Avoid placing lamps or other heat generating appliances near the air-conditioning unit, which may cause it to operate longer/harder than necessary.
- Energy consumption by the air-conditioning unit increases with the difference between the room and the outdoor temperature. Therefore, it is advisable to set the thermostat temperature as comfortably high as possible (e.g. 25C°).
- Regularly service the air-conditioning units to ensure efficiency of the components (such as pipes and fans/motors) is well-maintained.
- Close windows and doors when air-conditioner is in use.
Water
- Use a tumbler while shaving or brushing your teeth instead of leaving the tap running.
- When washing clothes by hand, use a wash-tub instead of washing under a running tap. Re-use the rinse water (e.g. mopping the floor, flushing toilets).
- Only use automatic dishwasher when there is a full load. Otherwise, it is much faster and cheaper to wash by hand.
- When washing dishes by hand, rinse them out in a sink of water rather than under a running tap. You can save up to 48 times of water each time!
- Use pail of water to wash car or floors rather than a running hose.
- Take short showers and turn off the shower while soaping. You can save up to 60 litres of water each time!
- Outdoor potted plants need to watered only once or twice a week. Indoor potted plants need to be watered every three to four days. To verify whether it is necessary to water the plant, test the soil by feeling it at about one centimeter from the surface and water only when it feels dry.
- Water plants with a watering can instead of a running hose.
- Re-use water from washing vegetables for watering plants.
- Do not allow toilet cisterns to overflow.
- Use a half flush for flushing of liquid waste.
- Turn off tapes when not in use. Turn off taps tightly and replace worn-out washers to prevent drips.
- Choose water efficient and water saving appliances and fixtures.
- Read water meter regularly to monitor water consumption.
-
Check pipes and water fittings regularly for leaks. Repair leaks immediately. There may be a leak if:
- The water meter continues to run even when all taps and fittings are turned off.
- Water consumption is unusually high.
- Water is rust coloured.
- The water pressure drops.
Lighting
- Use energy saving lamps.
- Switch off lights in unoccupied rooms.
- Consider installing dimmers, timers and sensors to control the usage and level of lighting.
- Clean lights and fixtures regularly.
- Use task lighting to focus more light where required, allowing lower lighting levels for general area (e.g. using reading lamps).
Refrigerator
- Choose appliances with energy label.
- Generally, larger models use more energy to operate. Buying the smallest model that meets the needs is the most efficient.
- Operating one large refrigerator/freezer is more efficient than operating two smaller refrigerators/freezers.
- Ensure that there is sufficient space for proper airflow near the compressor and condenser coils.
- Adjust the thermostat to the recommended settings.
- Do not open the door unnecessarily as the cool air will escape.
- Test the door seal occasionally by closing the door on a thin piece of paper. If it does not stay in place, the seal should be replaced.
Washing Machine
- When using a washing machine, launder only when you have a full load.
- A significant amount of energy is used for heating of water. Consider the need to wash with the hot water cycle. Alternatively, use cold water during the rinse cycle to reduce energy usage.
- Use the right amount of detergent to avoid having to wash or rinse the load again.
- Pre-soak or use a soak cycle when washing heavily soiled garments to avoid two washings.
Electric & Microwave Ovens
- Do not open the oven door while the food is cooking as the temperature may drop by 25°C to 30°C each time the door is opened.
- Cook multiple dishes at the same time. Cooking two dishes in the oven requires less time and also less energy as compared to cooking each dish in the oven one after another.
- Avoid thawing frozen food in ovens as this can be easily done at room temperature although it takes a longer time.
Vacuum Cleaner
- Switch off the vacuum cleaner when the motor becomes too hot or when there is a change in the sound of the motor. There might be something trapped in the hose.
- Empty or replace the dust bag frequently.
Television, DVD/VCD Players
- When watching television programs, keep the room lights low. This helps to save electricity and also reduces annoying glare from the television screen.
- Switch off appliances at the main power source instead of leaving them on stand-by mode.
Computer and Printer
- Ensure that the monitor power management feature is enabled to realize the energy savings. Monitors in sleep mode consume significantly lower amount of electricity and the reduction in heat generated also lowers air-conditioning requirements.
- The energy consumption of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor can be half or two-thirds of that for a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor.
- Switch off the computer completely when not in use for long periods of time.
On the Road
- Car pool to reduce fuel consumption and improve traffic flow.
- Cut back on unnecessary travel and use public transport when possible.
- Choose a more fuel efficient vehicle.
