Let's check effective measures to save electricity at home
and make a list of "Electricity Saving Measures for My Home."

Air Conditioner Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

1Always remember to set the room temperature to 28°C.

 10% 130w
  * When the set temperature is raised 2°C.

2Use rattan blinds, reed screens and other shields to mitigate the
sunlight through windows.
(Electricity consumption by air-conditioners can be saved)

 10% 120w

3Turn the air-conditioner off and use an electric fan if at all possible.

 50% 600w

* Do not reduce your air conditioner usage to such an extent that you put yourself or your household at risk of heat stroke. Reduce where you can, but do not put yourself in danger.

* Please note that dehumidification and frequently turning the
air-conditioner on and off tend to increase power consumption.

Refrigerator Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

4Change the temperature setting of your refrigerator from "High" to "Medium" and shorten the time the refrigerator door is opened. Do not place excess food inside the refrigerator.

 2% 25w
Lighting Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

5Turn the lights off during the day and reduce lighting overnight to a minimum.

 5% 60w
TV Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

6Set it to the energy-saving mode. Reduce the brightness of the screen and turn the TV off when not in use.

 2% 25w
  * When the standard mode is
switched to energy-saving mode
and monitor operating hours are
reduced to two thirds.
Toilet Seat with Warm Water Spraying Function Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

7Use the OFF functions for toilet seat warming and for warm water
supply and power saving function by a timer in case these
functionsare provided.

Less than
1%		 5w

8Unplug from the socket if these functions are not provided.

    
Rice Cooker Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

9Cook rice for one whole day using the timer function early in the morning and keep it in the refrigerator.

Standby Power Reduction R1ate Power Consumption Reduced

10Turn the power of appliances off, instead of turning the power off via remote control. Unplug appliances from sockets when they are not used for an extended period.

 2% 25w

Let us take actions on 478 and/or 10 also when we are not at home.

Let's save electricity at home so that total reduction rates could exceed 15%.

Values listed above as effects of electricity saving are a guide for reduction rates and power consumption reduced based on average daily power consumption of an occupied household (14 hours, about 1200W) as estimated by the
Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. Fractions below the decimal point in the reduction rates are ignored.
