Energy Efficient Lighting Tips:
Turn OFF light when you leave the room.
Use Fluorescent lighting, compact Fluorescent lamps, LED.
Use programmable timers, day light Sensors or Motion sensors to control
outdoor and security lighting when a small amount of light is required.
Regularly clean light fittings, reflectors and lampshades.
Appropriate coloring and furnishing of interior can increase illumination
level by 20 to 40%.
Select the minimum possible heights for mounting of light fittings.
Switch off Street lights after getting bright light of Moon
Energy Saving Summer Cooling Tips:
Open Windows & ventilate the house when the outside temperature is
lower than inside.
On a hot day, close all blinds, curtains, windows & doors to keep out of
heat.
Cool the bedroom & living area to no less than 24 C.
Turn OFF the cooler overnight & when you are out during the day.
Use fans to create cooling breezes.
Ensure Windows are well shaded from Summer Sun by external blinds or
awnings.
Air Conditioners in reservation offices/other offices for ticket Booking
purposes shall be switched off after completion of Booking.
Energy Saving Refrigeration Tips:
Defrost & clean the inside of your refrigerator & freezer at least every six
months.
Clean the coils behind your refrigerator at least once a year.
Keep the temperature in your freezer between 18 and – 15° C
Check that the doors seals on the refrigerator and freezer are tight fitting.
Switch OFF additional refrigerators & freezers if they are mostly empty or
only used occasionally.

Turn OFF Appliances at the power point when they are not being used.
Turn OFF TVs, VCDs etc. the unit, rather than just using the remote Control.
Switch OFF the Computers & Printers at the power point.
Buy/select washing Machines that uses less water, which will be economical for long run.
Choice of cycles is a must. Sort the clothes according to the cycle they need. Delicate items need sorter cycle.
Sort out the clothes as per the heat requirement for ironing. Do not forget temperature setting for ironing.

Open the doors only when required and keep them open as briefly as
possible.
Let food cool enough naturally before keeping in the fridge.
Use closed containers for preserving food before keeping into fridge.
Place the fridge away from heat of stoves in the kitchen and give free space
for air circulation
around the fridge and avoid from direct sunlight.
Energy Saving Hot Water Tips:
Insulate External hot water pipes.
Ensure hot water taps in good condition – no leaks or drips.
Check that the hot water is at the optimum temperature.
Have a short shower instead of a bath.
Instant electrical geysers are more energy efficient and less cost too.
Thermostat should be set up as per requirement.
Energy Cooking Tips:
Use Microwave oven instead of a conventional oven.
Use the right size hotplate for the right size of the pot.
Turn the over OFF a few minutes before your food is ready.
Install Ovens in relatively hot area.
Keep the inside of the Microwave oven clean.
Use solar cooker.
