Club Enerji

This ENERGY CONSERVATION CLUB brings about a first-hand realization of the energy crisis in cities across India through the enterprise and creativity of our youth!

This club comprises of Schools and Schoolchildren, is formed to spark off a youth initiative for curbing energy-wastage through various active measures, and also popularizing the same among family, friends & community.

It’s a platform where you share and expand your understanding and bring about a chain-reaction that can significantly reduce wasteful use of energy in the city & protect our resources and environment.

Your sincere efforts can make you an ENERGY CHAMPION.

Earth’s Climate changing because of rise in global temperatures

Global temperatures rising because of Carbon emissions into atmosphere

The rising levels of emissions are due to increase use of energy

1. Saving of power

2. Improving Energy-efficiency - use of efficient technology

3. Switching to renewable sources of energy

Example:

Energy Conservation

1) Saving 2) Improving efficiency

Conserving energy is an effective solution to 2 major problems: Load shedding Global Warming & Climate Change

Power Consumption at Home

200 watts (0.2 kW)

100 watts (0.1 kW)

270 watts (0.27 kW)

1500 watts (1.5 kW) 200 watts (0.2 kW)

Saving Energy

Lighting

22 watts = 0.022 kW 100 watts = 0.1 kW

ENERGY CONSUMPTION - 1 MONTH (30 days)

Bulb – used 10 hrs a day 0.10 kW x 10 hrs x 30 days = 30 kW-hrs (units)

CFL – used 10 hrs a day 0.022 kW x 10 hrs x 30 days = 6.6 kW-hrs (units)

REPLACING BULBS WITH CFLs SAVES 22% ENERGY

Air Conditioning Always keep ACs at 26o C, the optimum temperature for efficient operation Keep filters cleaned

Refrigerators Do not open the door of the refrigerator too often Check your refrigerator for any leakage by checking the seal of the door.

Other Appliances & Devices

Use Instant Geysers in place of Storage Geysers Switch off appliances from the plug point Use the computer’s sleep mode or switch off the monitor Remember Heating Devices cause a lot of wastage Opt for Star-rated appliances during replacement

Energy Wastage by Standby Power

11

10 electric bulbs of 60 watts each, and they are used for 8 hours everyday. Then your daily energy consumption for electric bulbs =

10 x 60 watts x 8 hours = 4800 watt-hours Your monthly energy consumption for electric bulbs = 4800 watt-hours x 30 days = 144000 watt-hours = 144 kilowatt-hours

OR 144 units. 1 Unit : 1 kilowatt-hour

Your guide & friend in Energy Conservation

Use stairs instead of elevator

Switch off appliances when not in use

Use natural light, heating & cooling Keep AC’s at 26oC

Use CFL’s

Actions Have A BIG Impact

Tata Power Club Enerji has saved more than 8.7 million units of energy and sensitised more than 5.2 million people nationwide.

The 8.7 million units of energy saved is equivalent to the amount of energyused to light up 4070 houses for a year and save 8700 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

The Energy Champion PledgeI,

a proud member of the Club Enerji,

pledge today to tirelessly strive

in spreading the message of energy conservation

in my home, college and neighborhood,

not only by showing and educating everyone I know

on how to save precious energy

but by demonstrating energy conservation at work

by putting it into place in my daily life.

I promise to abide by the rules

and meet every expectation set by the Club.

I will never cease to champion the cause

and in doing so, we will save this valuable resource,

preserve our fragile planet

and create a better world for all of us

and the generations to come.
