      Implementing good housekeeping measures can significantly reduce electricity consumption in homes. Here are five effective measures along with approximate units of energy saved:

      1. Switching Off Lights and Appliances When Not in Use: Encourage family members to turn off lights, electronics, and appliances when leaving a room or not in use. Replacing incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs also helps save energy. By turning off a 60-watt incandescent bulb for 4 hours a day, approximately 7.2 kWh of electricity can be saved per month, which is equivalent to about 7.2 units of energy.

      2. Using Energy-Efficient Appliances: Choose energy-efficient appliances with high Energy Star ratings when purchasing new appliances. Energy-efficient refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioners consume less electricity while providing the same level of performance. For instance, upgrading to an Energy Star-rated refrigerator can save approximately 20% to 40% of energy compared to older models, which translates to savings of around 10 to 20 units of energy per month.

      3. Utilizing Natural Ventilation and Daylight: Make use of natural ventilation and daylighting whenever possible to reduce the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning. Opening windows and using ceiling fans instead of air conditioners can significantly reduce energy consumption. By relying on natural ventilation and daylighting for 4 hours a day, approximately 2 kWh of electricity can be saved per month, equivalent to about 2 units of energy.

      4. Regular Maintenance of HVAC Systems: Regular maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency. Clean or replace air filters, check for leaks, and schedule annual maintenance by professionals. By properly maintaining HVAC systems, households can save approximately 10% to 15% of energy consumption, translating to savings of around 5 to 7.5 units of energy per month.

      5. Insulating and Sealing Windows and Doors: Proper insulation and sealing of windows, doors, and gaps in walls prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Installing weatherstripping, caulking, and double-glazed windows improves energy efficiency. By insulating and sealing windows and doors, households can save approximately 10% to 20% of energy consumption, resulting in savings of around 5 to 10 units of energy per month.

      By implementing these good housekeeping measures, households can significantly reduce electricity consumption, lower energy bills, and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, adopting energy-saving habits contributes to a more sustainable and energy-efficient lifestyle for the household and the community.
