Our Top Tips And Fascinating Facts For Energy Saving Week

Energy Saving Week is an important event that helps to raise awareness about the importance of energy conservation and encourages individuals and businesses to take action to reduce their energy consumption and lower their carbon footprint.

“Saving energy is not only good for the environment, but it can also save you money on your energy bills…”

The Big Energy Saving Week ran from the 17th-23rd January. We provided a tip or a fact for every day during the week, and we wanted to summarise our findings here! In today’s world, energy conservation is more important than ever. Not only is it good for the environment, but it can also save you money on your energy bills. We want to share practical and easy ways to reduce your energy consumption at home and in the office, as well as looking at some facts about Renewable Energy Solutions!

Use LED instead of incandescent light bulbs

Using LED’s instead of incandescent light bulbs can save you money! Since lighting takes up about 11% of your energy bill, savings can easily be made here! With twice the lifespan, ten times the efficiency, and around 20% savings on your energy, there isn’t much to think about. At RES, we encourage our clients to invest in LED lighting to save on money, and help the environment.

A single wind turbine can power 1400 homes!

Did you know… A single wind turbine can power 1400 homes! Wind turbines are an optimistic look into the future of sustainable energy, offering a clean source of power that causes minimal pollution. Currently the UK is powered by over 10,000 wind turbines with a total capacity of 22 gigawatts.

Renewable energy creates three times more jobs than the fossil fuel industry!

Renewable energy creates three times more jobs than the fossil fuel industry!

 

A survey published by the UK Energy Research Centre found that by investing in renewable energy over fossil fuels will not only help with carbon reduction and kickstarting the economy after a pandemic, but also it will create a significantly higher amount of long-term jobs due to the goal to reach net zero by 2050.

Turn your non-essential electrical items off instead of leaving them on standby!

By turning your non-essential electrical items off instead of leaving them on standby you can save around £65 a year! Non-essential electrical items, such as your tv, digital-box, or gaming consoles, use unnecessary energy to keep themselves on standby mode.

Progress of lighting with candle, tungsten, fluorescent and LED

Only 10-15% of the energy incandescent light bulbs use generates light!

The remaining 85-90% of energy is used to generate heat, as heat is how incandescent bulbs create light. In comparison, LED lights do not need to generate heat to produce light, therefore being at least 85% more efficient! To learn more about how LED lighting can benefit your business, contact us using the button below.

In conclusion, saving energy is not only good for the environment, but it can also save you money on your energy bills. It’s important to remember that small changes in behaviour, like turning off lights when leaving a room or unplugging electronics when they’re not in use, can have a big impact when done consistently. Additionally, investing in energy-efficient products, like LED light bulbs, can also help you save energy in the long run. 

 

By taking action today, we can all do our part in creating a more sustainable future. Let’s continue to be mindful of our energy usage and strive to make energy-saving a part of our daily lives.

We care deeply about the effects businesses are having on our environment. If we can all do a little bit together, we can make a huge difference.To discuss any of the solutions mentioned in this blog, call 0800 989 0143 or book a consultation using the button below.
