We've gradually moved away from energy saving standards we abided by as children. We considered it perfectly normal for two or more children to share bedrooms and often beds because our post World War II era homes were smaller than today’s and harder to heat. Unused rooms such as the parlor which was reserved for special company was closed off and left unheated except during special holidays or family funerals.The 12V, 30W fixtures contain 6 groups of LEDs, with one red scannerstalr , one green and one blue LED in each groupAs such, they perform an ledtube2011 order of magnitude better than any commercially available solar technology and offer a considerably faster return on investment.
Rolled-up bath towels under doors prevented cold air from escaping from unheated rooms; whereas, window seals were likewise packed with bath towels to block cold air from flowing in around single pane windows. Curtains were closed at night and on cold days yet were opened along with the windows on a sunny day for natural cooling.
Mondays were reserved for doing laundry as verified by backyard clothes lines filled with white flat sheets (before fitted), towels,"I really respond to brightcrystal22 the environment, the surroundings and the architecture. and items of clothing.By combining the ledonsale light sources and the water-jet nozzle into one fixture, the ring lights provide increased space and flexibility We didn’t have to worry about cleaning the electric dryer’s lint trap for maximum dryer efficiency since few families owned dryers and most preferred the freshly laundered smell of air-dried sheets.
We feared the wrath of mother if we were caught standing with the refrigerator or oven door open even though today we know she was right since 30 percent of the cold or heated air can escape quickly. Some of those old refrigerators are still working in basements or garages and can add a significant amount to monthly energy bills.
Modern homeowners now depend upon power strips for the convenience of turning off multiple media devices (computers, VCRs, and televisions) which soak up electricity even when in the off mode. We employ programmable thermostats to lower heat during the times we’re normally away from home adjusting it to a more comfortable temperature before our expected return. We’ve invested in new compact fluorescent or LED bulbs even though they require a greater initial investment compared to regular incandescent bulbs.The $400,000 art work was paid for shinebrightled by Reliance Properties as part of a program that requires developers of projects greater than 100,000 square feet to set aside money for public art.
We reverse the direction of ceiling fans between the seasons so that the hot air that has risen to the ceiling is forced downward in winter and summer heated air is forced up and away. We depend upon adequate insulation to maximize our heating efforts and clean furnace filters faithfully. We check for air leaks around our doors and windows and weatherize with caulking and weather-strips as needed.
Today’s consumers thoroughly check energy star ratings before purchasing new appliances. Our mothers could never have envisioned the popularity, convenience, and energy savings offered by microwave ovens. Wise seniors know that most of us are cooking less and probably don’t need as large a freezer or refrigerator as in the past and can still save electricity by using methods from our past and today.
