Dear Sir,
National
Energy Conservation Day 2014
December 14, 2014
National
Energy Conservation Day in India
National
energy conservation day is celebrated every year by the people all over the
India on 14th of December. The Energy Conservation Act in India was
executed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in the year 2001. The Bureau
of Energy Efficiency is a constitutional body which comes under Government of
India and helps in the development of policies and strategies in order to
reduce the energy use. Energy Conservation Act in India act aims to employ the
professional, qualified and energetic managers as well as auditors who are with
expertise in managing the energy, projects, policy analysis, finance or
implementing the energy efficiency projects
Modi pledges commitment towards energy conservation
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi ON Sunday pledged "wholehearted commitment" towards energy conservation on National Energy Conservation Day."On National Energy Conservation Day we pledge our wholehearted commitment towards energy conservation in our daily lives," he said in a tweet.
Significant Roles of Indian Citizens in Energy Security
Each and every citizens of the India must aware about how to use
efficient energy, how to save the energy for their own future safety and many
more ways. They should follow all the rules, regulations and policies
implemented by the Government of India in order to support the energy
efficiency. Citizens of India can pay their direct contribution to the campaign
of reduce energy use throughout the 11th Five Year Plan period.
Children are the big expectation and hope for the country to bring positive
changes as well as to enhance the economic condition of the country.
What
is the Energy Conservation?
National energy conservation day in
India is celebrated to aware people about the importance of energy as well as
saving or conserving the more energy by using less energy. The exact means of
energy conservation is using less energy by avoiding the unnecessary uses of
energy. Using energy efficiently is very necessary to save it for the future
usage. Energy conservation should be rooted in the behavior of every human
being to get more effect towards the plan of energy conservation.
One can save the energy by deeply
taking care of it such as turning off the unnecessarily running fans, lights,
submersible, heater, combining car trips or other electric things of daily
usage. These are the more easier and efficient way to save extra uses of energy
thus playing the great role towards the campaign of national energy
conservation.
Fossil fuels, Crude oil, Coal,
natural gas and etc generate sufficient energy for the use in daily life but
increasing the demands of it day by day creates the fear of reducing or
diminishing the natural resources. Energy conservation is the only way which
helps in replacing the non-renewable resources of energy with the renewable
energy.
In
order to aware the energy users for less energy consumption as well as to make
efficient energy conservation, energy or carbon taxes has been employed by the
government in different countries. Tax on high energy consumption reduces the
energy use by the users as well as promotes limited energy use among users.
People
must aware that bright lighting at their work places leads to the variety of
problems like stress, headache, blood pressure, fatigue and reduces work
efficiency of workers. Whereas, natural day lighting enhances the productivity
level of workers and reduces the energy consumption.
Petroleum Conservation
Research Association was established by the Indian government in India in the
year 1977 to promote energy efficiency and conservation among Indian people in
their every walk of life. This is a big step taken by the government of India
for energy conservation to a great level. Another government organization in
India, Bureau of Energy Efficiency, has also been set up in 2001 for better
energy efficiency and conservation.
What are the Energy Conservation
Measures
- Windows are the big energy conservation contributing factors other than thermal curtains, Smart windows or films.
- A big amount of energy can be saved by the natural lightings and compact fluorescent lamp or CFL (15W and consumes only 1/4th of the energy consumed by other means), Fluorescent bulbs, Linear fluorescent retrofit, Solar charged flashlight, Sky lights, Smart windows, LED lighting and Solar lights.
- Water conservation also leads to the better energy conservation. There is wastage of around thousands of gallons water per year by the people which can be prevented through various means of water saving solutions like 1.6 GPM or less low flow showerheads, Ultra low flush toilet, Faucet aerator, Composting toilets and etc.
- Insulation also plays big role in energy conservation by decreasing the thermal losses in winter seasons as well as thermal gains in summer seasons. For example; natural wool insulation, house insulation, cotton insulation, VOCs in fiberglass insulation, thermal insulation, cellulose insulation and etc.
How National Energy Conservation Day
is Celebrated
To
make the campaign of national energy conservation more effective and special
all over the India, variety of energy conservation competitions are organized
by the government or other organizations around the living areas of normal
people as they are the main target of the campaign. At many places the various
painting competitions on energy conservation day is held by the student or
member of the organizations at school, state, regional or national level.
The
campaign of the national energy conservation is the national awareness campaign
launched by the Ministry of Power to facilitate the process of energy
conservation in India. Painting competitions organized for the students at many
levels is one of the main activities of this campaign which helps in increasing
the awareness of children about the importance of conserving energy as well as
educating and involving their parents in the campaign. This competition helps
the people of domestic sectors to be aware.
Every participant is provided a
theme Topic such as the “More stars, more savings”, “Today’s energy wastage is
tomorrow’s energy shortage”, “Energy saved is future save” and many more.
Participants can make their painting more effective by using the Pencil Color,
Crayons, Water Color and etc.
Students, who take part in the
competition and win, get participation certificate, merit certificate or cash
prizes which worth Rs 33,000 per State. This amount is distributed among all
the winners of a state and awarded by the Ministry of Power at 14th
of December at the celebration event of National Energy Conservation day.
Objectives of National Energy
Conservation Day
National energy conservation day is
celebrated every year using particular theme of the year by keeping in mind
some goals and objectives to make more effective all over the country among
people. Some of the important goals are:
- It is celebrated to send the message of importance of conserving energy in the every walk of life among people.
- Promoting the way of process of energy conservation by organizing a lot of events such as discussions, conferences, debates, workshops, competitions and etc all through the country.
- Promote people for less energy usage by neglecting the excessive and wasteful uses.
- Encourage people for efficient energy use in order to decrease the energy consumption and prevent the energy loss.
