RECOMMENDATIONS: to boost energy efficiency
Power supply
-
Introduce new pricing
strategies to discourage heavy users of electricity.
-
Spur the development of demand side management, where power companies
make money from helping customers save energy. Currently, utility
companies lose revenue if they were to promote efficiency and reduce
demand.
Homes
-
Utilities bill to show prominently the average electricity consumption
of different sized flats.
-
Labels on
air-conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines to
tell if the model is energy efficient.
-
Study how solar energy and wind energy can be tapped for facilities
in common areas.
Buildings
-
Audit energy use in large public sector buildings and set targets
to boost energy efficiency.
-
Set energy efficiency standards for public and private housing.
-
Make audits mandatory for all buildings above five years
which use
energy inefficiently.
Transport
Facilitate the introduction of energy efficient vehicles as soon
as possible, while continuing to encourage the use of public transport.
Industry
-
Introduce energy efficiency standards and best practices for the
manufacturing sector by studying the experience of other countries.
-
Study if large industrial consumers should be required to carry
out energy audits and whether they should be given incentives to
improve.

-
Turn off electrical
appliances and machinery not being used. A checklist can be given to
night watchmen and maintenance personnel. In kitchens, frying
tables, coffee warmers, and grills can be shut down or lowered
during slack periods. Warm-up time before high occupancy should be
kept as short as possible. But electrical equipment should be turned
on gradually to avoid high demand charges.
-
Improve maintenance of
motors, engines, and turbines.
-
Examine elevator usage;
shut down excess capacity. In many buildings, full capacity elevator
usage only occurs for short periods of time when occupants are
entering or leaving the building. Most elevators can be shut off
during unoccupied hours.
-
Correct power factor,
by installing capacitors on motors. Many power factor problems are
the result of motors running below peak capacity. Transformers and
fluorescent lamps also contribute to low power factors.
-
Close off unused areas
and rooms.
-
Wash and dry full
laundry loads only.
-
Keep refrigeration
condenser coils clean. Check for sufficient air circulation.
