Tips For Saving Energy On National Energy Conservation Day

National Energy Conservation Day 2021

National Energy Conservation Day 2021 will be celebrated on Tuesday, 14 December.

What is Energy Conservation?

National Energy Conservation Day in India aims to make people aware about the importance of energy as well as saving, and conservation through saving energy. Energy conservation literally means saving energy by using less energy by reducing unnecessary use of energy. Using energy efficiently is very essential to save it for future use. Energy conservation must be embedded in the behavior of every human being in order to achieve more effective results towards energy conservation planning.

One can save energy by taking serious care of it, by keeping many electrical appliances of daily use like: fans, bulbs, somersvilles, heaters from running unused etc. It is the most efficient way to save excess use energy which plays the most important role in energy conservation campaign.

Fossil Fuels Running Out

Fossil fuels, crude oil, coal, natural gas etc. generate enough energy for use in daily life but their increasing demand day by day creates fear of depletion of natural resources. Energy conservation is the only way that replaces non-renewable sources of energy with renewable sources.

In order to make energy users aware of less energy consumption as well as efficient energy conservation, governments of various countries have imposed taxes on the use of energy and carbon. The tax on high energy consumption encourages consumers to use energy within a limit while reducing the use of energy.

Conservation Of Energy

People should be more aware that, bright light at workplaces brings various troubles (diseases) like: stress, headache, blood pressure, fatigue and reduces efficiency. Whereas, natural light increases the productivity levels of workers and reduces energy consumption.

Petroleum Conservation Research Association in India was established in the year 1977 by the Government of India to promote energy conservation and efficiency among the Indian people. This is a big step taken by the Government of India to conserve energy at a great level. Another organization Bureau of Energy Efficiency was also established in 2001 by the Government of India for better energy efficiency and conservation.

Theme of National Energy Conservation Day 2021

This year, the theme for the competition is ‘AzadikaAmritMahotsav: Energy Efficient India” and ‘AzadikaAmritMahotsav: Cleaner Planet’. The State level painting competitions will be organized from 1st to 10th December 2021 in all States and Union Territories of the country. The winners of the National level competition will be awarded on the occasion of National Energy Conservation Day.

What are the measures to conserve energy?

Apart from thermal curtains, smart windows, windows are the biggest factor in conserving energy.

A large amount of energy is drawn from natural light and compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs (consumes only 1/4th of the energy consumption by 15W and other means), fluorescent bulbs, linear fluorescents, solar smart flashlights, sky lights, windows Can be saved by using lighting and solar lights.

Water conservation also leads to better energy conservation. About thousands of gallons of water are wasted by people every year which can be saved by using various conservation tools such as: 6 GPM or less flow fountains, very low flush toilets, tap aerators, compost toilets.

Separation plays a very important role in conserving energy by reducing thermal in winter season as well as achieving thermal in summer. For example, natural wool separation, house separation, cotton separation, fiber separation, thermal separation etc.

How National Energy Conservation Day is celebrated

In order to make the national energy conservation campaign more effective and special all over India, many energy conservation competitions are organized by the government and other organizations among the people because that is the main goal of this campaign. Various painting competitions are organized at school, state, regional or national level on Energy Conservation Day by the students or members of organizations at many places.
