Frugality ato berjimat in the words of Malaysia is not in the sense of stingy, miserly, stingy, or any other term. In Big Indonesian Dictionary, stated that "saving" is not extravagant, "frugality" means be thrifty or cautious, "conserve" means to use (something) carefully and cautiously. While the "wasteful" means excessive or squander. Boros closer to the word "redundant"which means to be futile or useless or wasted. To me, frugality is to do things fair and not excessive so that the goals are reached. If we need to read 25 watts of lighting the lamp as much as 1 fruit, why should be fitted into 2 pieces 25 watt lamps. The objective remains also achieved the reading, but with the use of 2 pieces of the lamp will become superfluous.
House (a residence) as one of the primary needs of man, at the present time is not independent of whether the resources of energy resources and water resources. Energy resources are usually obtained from plants with a subscription to the PLN. Its use is the right customers with the limits watts and voltage and gives rise to the obligation to pay for the use of these rights.
Source of electrical energy, with the wattage limitations Naturally used in a way not excessive. Why? Firstly because there is no limit watts (power), both because of the obligations arising from its use. Limits watts is forcing us to be able to distribute all power to the common needs in the home. For example, when the mother wanted to rub the clothes, it could be a television in the living room should be turned off because not enough power at the expense of the iron and television at the same time. Probably a bit different from the houses that have great power.
The house has a large enough electric power generally do not mess around with the distribution of power in the house. So when the mother was ironing, may be television dihidupkannya at once even though no one watching, Air Conditioner (AC) in the living room when no human in the room.
Generally, the reasons used are: television turned on to hear the voice of the mother's favorite soap opera, the AC is turned on for Ntar came into the room already in a state of soothing cold. But what happened? Proper waste can be reduced.
What else can we save at home? Consider the following ways (re-composed from Reader Digest Indonesia):
1. Electric irons.
That exist under the crust / base iron heat cleaned to deliver the best. Generally, the iron present is iron with automatic heat control knob, set in accordance with the fabric to be ironed. Trick is to separate the clothing according to type of fabric first start of the linen that require low heat, until the cotton / genie that require high heat. Singlet and the other to ironed clothes after ironing cotton and iron to unplug the electrical connections. Menyetrikalah underwear using the residual heat available.
2. Water pump.
Water pump is used to store the water. Use a water reservoir which will automatically cut off the electricity if the shelter is full. Arrange otomatnya on half container. For the purpose, if the shelter was empty to half capacity, then the pump will automatically fill the water up to full and then the pump will shut itself down.
3. Lighting.
Optimize use of natural light (to be posted later on lingkunngan friendly home design.) Use CFL lamps (already posted here). Use some point the optimal light.
4. Refrigerator.
Cover tightly and opened the fridge door if necessary. Do not include food / hot drinks into the fridge. Keep the refrigerator from other heat sources because it would disrupt the process of cooling. Fill the fridge to taste, not too full because it will hinder the circulation of cold air in it, so that the desired cold temperature is not reached.
5. Air conditioning (AC).
Turn off the AC if no person or who uses it. Set the temperature correctly. Ideal temperature is between getting cold and low power consumption is 27 degrees Celsius. Avoid the leakage of outside air. Use the automatic temperature and time used.
6. Electronic entertainment equipment.
Turn off the television, stereo, computer and other electronic devices in full in thethe sense power off with power button and then unplug the power cord . This method also avoids any unexpected electrical stepping like lightning. The equipment is still in a state of "stand-by" still consume electricity.
7. Washing machine.
Use the washing machine when the laundry has been widely according to engine capacity. Do not wash if the laundry is still less than was actually needed. Reduce the use of washer dryer, if you use it enough to be used within 1 minute (usually a button to provide time to 5 minutes). Take advantage of the sun to dry laundry.
8. Water heater.
Wherever possible use a hot water heater that uses the sun or in combination with AC machine (appliance has not been widely circulated.)
What is gained in the subsequent process of saving electricity at home?
No need to increase generating electric power, especially electric power generation from diesel power, coal, nuclear. Then it will can also reduce land use for the manufacture of electric power generation.
If necessary electrical power generation, it is advisable to use solar, wind, waves. Making Reservoir to make electric power generation is another option, but use good sememangnya vast land so many trees that were drowned.
We save money, the Earth survived.
