Question

short speech on the topic energy conversation

Answer 1

energy should be conserve for our future generations

Answer 2

In the previous section, we have seen the energy conservation needs and various strategies which can be applied to achieve energy savings in domestic sector. As we know in the domestic sector buildings are involved. Similar strategies or mechanism can be applied to commercial buildings such as organisation building or office building etc. There is a huge potential of energy savings in buildings of an organisation of office as we have discussed in energy saving measures for domestic sector earlier.

Now, the energy conservation methodologies or process/procedures for office or large buildings involves certain steps or sequence of activities which are essential for an effective energy conservation program for the buildings.

Some of these activities are:

1. Energy awareness campaign.

2. Facts and figures about energy waste.

3. Energy Profile:

(a) Use of energy profile to find energy waste.

(b) Understanding of energy profile.

4. Energy performance tracking.

5. Metering and monitoring etc.

Energy-Awareness Campaign:

If we want to save energy in an organisation, it’s important that everyone in the organisation become aware of the energy consumption that they are responsible for simple changes in people’s behaviour can quickly lead to significant energy savings but such changes will only happen if the people are aware of the energy consumption that they have the power to control.

With proper guidance and encouragement we can probably achieve huge cuts in organisation’s energy consumption. Everyone knows that saving energy is a good thing, but most people will only be motivated when we can demonstrate just how much energy they are wasting and just how much potential there is for them to improve.

Essentially you need to raise the energy awareness of all concerned in an organisation and for this; you need an energy-awareness campaign.

Now, typical preparation for an energy-awareness campaign might begin with a hunt for generic poster facts and figures and generic pictures of light switches, children hugging trees and polar bears on melting ice caps etc. But the problem with that approach is that most people have seen it all many times before and consequently they rarely stop to think about the underlying message.

And, more importantly, there’s actually a much better way to encourage the occupants of your building to take action to reduce their energy consumption.

The usual array of eliched poster facts and figures is not nearly as effective as targeted facts and figures that are specific to your organisation and that you easily come up with yourself.

Because the more you can make your energy-awareness message directly relevant to your building, the more that your building’s occupants will understand and appreciate it.

What exactly is Energy Awareness?

For a general definition, energy awareness is about understanding:

i. How much energy we use (both directly and indirectly),

ii. What we actually use it for,

iii. Where the energy comes from,

iv. The knock-on effects of us using it (e.g., environmental impact, depletion of resources), and

v. What we can do to reduce our energy consumption.

Also energy awareness is about understanding that:

i. All day we’re using energy in our building,

ii. Sometimes we do use a lot more energy than others,

iii. Simple changes in our habits can lead to big reductions in our building’s energy consumption and,

iv. Reducing our building’s energy consumption is important.

When your concept of energy awareness is closer to home, your campaign will naturally use messages, facts and figures that are closer to home too. Such messages, facts and figures will naturally resonate better with the people they’re intended for and this should have a significant impact on the savings that your campaign will achieve.
