Tasks of the Department of Conservation and Renewable Energy

Since April 2014, the Department of Conservation and Renewable Energy has undertaken many tasks, including awareness and attention to the simple consumer as follows:
In the field of electric cars:
- Participation with the authorities responsible for localizing the electric car industry in Egypt according to the responsibility entrusted to the distribution companies only, which is to provide electrical supply to charging stations after providing us with maps, places, capabilities, and densities of charging stations in accordance with the rules and regulations governing this
In the field of rationalization of lighting and electrical appliances:
- The electricity sector, represented by the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company and the distribution companies, has adopted the system of selling LED bulbs in installments through electricity bills. About 13 million LED bulbs were distributed to the consumer public. Distribution companies.

Important guidance for rationalization

The standard specifications of the electric energy efficiency card are prepared for a number of household appliances that have proved to be the most energy-consuming:

(refrigerators, automatic washing machines, air conditioners, high-quality lighting tasks, and electric water heaters).

The energy efficiency card is designed to show the energy consumption of each device.

Ministerial decisions have been issued to adopt these specifications and oblige local manufacturers and importers to abide by these specifications and the need to install the energy efficiency card on these devices.

 

Replace ordinary and fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs.

It is preferable to distribute lighting on several keys when there is more than one lamp in one place to use it only.

Window glass is best cleaned to take advantage of sunlight in natural lighting.
It is preferable to use light colors in home paint that contribute to energy saving as they reflect light and contribute to increasing the efficiency of lighting inside the rooms and reduce the intensity of sunlight falling on the house. For example:
Red light gives a sense of heat.
Light in white or blue gives a sense of cold.
Choose light colors for walls and ceilings.
Close the lights when leaving the room even for a few minutes.
Use ad hoc lighting (e.g. reading) rather than the main lighting of the room.
Office rooms must be transparent from the back, not vertical on the head, and spacing between scouts and the other 3 meters.
We take into account the intensity of lighting with consumer needs so that I do not put strong lighting in a small place and vice versa so that the eye is not damaged.

Do not operate except when filling the washing machine to maximize energy.
Use an energy-saving switch that automatically closes the washing machine before the drying cycle and this can be done manually and open the door to make the dishes dry regular air.
Clean food crumbs from dishes instead of rinsing them.
Replace your 10-year-old dishwasher with a high-efficiency dishwasher.
Heating water to a high degree can cause problems.
When buying a washing machine, choose the most efficient washing machine, i.e. the least electricity consumed, saving about 25% of consumption compared to the traditional type of dishwasher.

Close the doors and windows to prevent air leakage and shade the room with curtains before turning on the air conditioning. This reduces the use of air conditioning by 10% - 20%. The installation of conditioning in the shade must be considered to reduce consumption by about 10%.

On some summer days, the fan is enough to soften the temperature of the place.

Adjust the temperature to no less than 25m ° because this saves consumption by 6% and does not use air conditioning when the temperature is suitable within 25m °.
Close the air conditioner before leaving the room.
Taking into account the use of appropriate conditioning capacity for the place to be cooled because the use of a device of a lower size than required causes excess operation and poor performance of the device while choosing a larger size leads to high humidity levels and low performance efficiency.
Periodically maintaining the air-conditioning device by cleaning the air filter as well as ensuring that all moving parts of the air-conditioning device operate easily and that the air-conditioning validity movement is easy and works with high efficiency.
When purchasing an air conditioner, choose the most efficient device to consume electricity. This is recognized through the energy efficiency card plastered on the device.

Do not run until the washing machine is filled, it usually consumes the same amounts of electricity, hot water, and soap when using a full or half-full washing machine.

Use hot water for very dirty clothes only.
Always use cold water for rinsing.
Disconnect the electricity from the washing machine in case of non-use.
When buying a washing machine, choose the most efficient washing machine, i.e. the least electricity consuming. This is recognized by the energy efficiency card plastered on the washing machine.

Adjusting the heater at high temperatures reduces its life expectancy and raises the electricity bill.
It is preferable to adjust the thermostat at the appropriate temperature (50-60m °). The thermostat is located below the heater and is set at the agent's ID during the warranty period and if the warranty period ends, adjust with a screwdriver.
It is preferable not to operate the heater continuously throughout the day through a switch of the heater because the heat is lost by radiation and the temperature of the water is lowered and the heater continues to work any more electricity.
It is preferable to turn on the heater before requiring hot water for about half an hour.
Do not let hot water unnecessarily collapse but use the right amount you need.
Use Bryolin-type hot water pipes (temperature preservative) or use well-insulated galvanized metal pipes.
When buying a new heater buy the high-efficiency and electricity-saving heater.

Make sure the condenser is cleaned behind the refrigerator
Make sure that the door of the refrigerator is closed and do not try to open it unnecessarily.
Ice should be dissolved from time to time so that the ice is not increased by the refrigerator at 1/4 inches and the ice is dissolved manually for the types of refrigerators that melt the ice manually.
Preferably the freezer is full with the blanks filled with ice cube bags.
Arrange things inside the refrigerator so that the process of inserting and removing foods from them is easier and faster to reduce the exit of cold air and the entry of hot air into the refrigerator reducing consumption.
Take the refrigerator/freezer away from the bookstore, dishwasher, water warmer, or sundown spots in the room.
Put the contents on liquids and do not put hot foods in the refrigerator before cooling.
When buying a refrigerator, choose the most efficient refrigerator, i.e. the least electricity consumed. This is recognized by the energy efficiency card plastered on the refrigerator.

Close the TV when you finish using
Separate electric feeding from the TV  and do not use the remote (standby mode).
When buying a new TV, choose the most efficient TV, the least electricity consuming.

Remember to turn on the kitchen parcel fan while cooking and separate it when you finish cooking.
When purchasing any kitchen appliances, choose the most efficient appliances, i.e. the least electricity consumed, such as microwave and toaster, which consume only 75% compared to conventional appliances. Snow must be dissolved from time to time so that the ice thickness does not increase by 1/4 inch and the ice is dissolved manually for the types of refrigerators that dissolve ice manually.

-Use Dimmers to better control light intensity and reduce consumption.
-Use Timers or Motion Detector to control bulbs wherever possible.

Make sure the kettle has automatic closing on arrival to boiling point and that it works properly.
Just pay the amount of water you need.
Keep hot water in thermos to retain water heat and reduce the number of heating times.
Clean the kettle from the whole income, as the presence of lime deposits makes the boiling time of water longer, and thus more intense in electricity consumption, in addition to which the heating element can fail to work if the sediment layer is thick.
Separate the water kettle cord from the electric source after finishing use.
It is preferable to acquire boilers that have a base made of steel from nickel since stainless steel is safer than human health.

Collect all clothes that need ironing and are wet and weeping at once to make sure the ironing iron heat continues.
Start ironing light clothes.
Pull the iron link from the electricity in case you stop ironing.
The heat of the iron can be utilized after it is extinguished in the final ironing stages.
Adjust the temperature of the iron to the limit that fits the quality of the fabric.

Disconnect the computer and screen as well as the radio and cassette when finishing use.
Do not leave the mobile charger in the plug when the use is finished.
Using a laptop because it consumes only 10% compared to a PC as it takes up less space and does not make noise as it does not contain a feeding source fan.
Disconnect the PC screen in case of non-use for more than 20 minutes.
When purchasing new electrical appliances, choose the most efficient appliances, i.e. the least electricity consumption. This guidance is specific to the appliances with the label on them because, in the absence of the label, it is not possible to compare the devices with each other to know the most efficient device.
