When the issue of global warming sends an alarm through events such as melting polar ice caps Climate change with heatwaves, etc. is an issue that is important around the world. We should all work together to alleviate and correct the phenomena that affect the well-being of all life on Earth. Energy-saving by reducing electricity consumption Including the most cost-effective use of electricity is one of the ways to save the planet. which can start from our home according to these 3 steps

Step 1: Design/Choose materials to build a cool house

keeping the house cool It's the most basic way to save energy. Because one of the appliances that consume a lot of electricity is the air conditioner. So, if the house can live comfortably It will reduce the use of air conditioners by default. which makes the house cool is something that must be thought and planned since building the house because it is related to the design and choose the construction materials for the house roughly as follows

· Facing the right direction of the house to receive wind, reduce sunlight. Plan your home so that it receives northeastern winds in winter and southeastern winds in summer. The most suitable direction for the front of the house is north, east, and the south may get some sunlight. But the direction that should be absolutely avoided is the west. to make the house full of heat from the afternoon sun heat up until the night. In addition, the house should have high ceilings. There are vents for heat transfer. and circulate the air in the house

· Choose a heat-resistant building material. Use insulation from roof tiles. such as fiberglass insulation prefabricated walls with insulation. Making a double wall in the direction that receives sunlight Using insulating glass windows such as Low Emission Glass, Double Insulated Glass, or insulating glass film. Use window frames made of heat-resistant vinyl. Paint the house a light color and choose a color that helps prevent heat.

· Create a beautiful garden around the house. Digging a small pond in front of the house will keep the house moist when the wind blows. Helps reduce heat to the house. In addition, planting trees around A home is the easiest way to keep your home cool and shady. Because the shade of the trees reduces heat from sunlight. It is also a natural air purifier.

Step 2 Choose energy-saving home appliances

The next step is saving energy in the home. is to choose an energy-saving electric machine with the following principles:

· Has energy-saving label No. 5: The label will give you basic information about the level of electricity consumption. energy saving efficiency Annual cost of each type of electrical appliance for each brand. This will be information to help you decide to buy electrical appliances with good efficiency and energy saving in the long run. The electrical appliances that have received the energy-saving label No. 5 are the most energy-saving levels. It is an electrical appliance that has passed the energy-saving efficiency test that meets the standards stipulated by EGAT and the Ministry of Energy.

· Select Inverter system. Should choose appliances with Inverter technology to control the temperature that makes the electrical system work regularly. and help save at least 30% more energy than before. We tend to be familiar with Inverter air conditioners the most, but other electrical appliances have Inverter systems as well, such as Inverter refrigerators, Inverter washing machines, etc. Even inverter electrical appliances are more expensive than traditional technology. But in the long run, it saves energy. Worth more

·Use smart home technology. Applying the Internet of Things (IoT) to the functions of controlling electrical appliances in the home will help us to manage the energy consumption in the home efficiently. such as setting a time to turn off electrical appliances in advance Can be controlled through an application screen on a smartphone or tablet that can turn on-off lights, refrigerators, air conditioners, and microwaves even when you are not at home. Including the Smart Sensor Smart Sensor system, especially the group (Motion Sensor) that detects our movements, such as turning on the lights automatically when someone walks by. It saves electricity by turning it on only when people use it. and make life easier for us.

Step 3 Install solar cells Let the house generate electricity by itself

At present, solar cell technology has been continuously developed. Therefore, as of today, the installation of solar panels more value Payback faster. A solar roof is an interesting option for those who want to have a greenhouse. Ultimate energy saving

· Installation of a house roof that uses solar cells to generate electricity from solar energy. This will turn an energy-only home into a home that generates electricity as well. It is a technology that is suitable for homes that use electricity more than 3,000 baht per month. There are people during the day. There is a lot of use of air conditioners during the day, such as in a house with parents at home. Retired people who stay at home during the day People who work at home (Work from home) or do office/business at home. including having a minimum solar cell installation area of ​​60 sq m.

·Solar cell technology. The most affordable and commonly used today is the On-Grid system that connects the system to the grid. There is a solar panel connected to Grid Tie Inverter Generate electricity for immediate use in the home. No backup is stored in Energy Storage.

· Electric power produced We can also sell the surplus to electricity. in the people's solar project Register and submit your request at https://spv.mea.or.th/ or https://pea.or.th/

Importantly, you should choose to use solar cell installation services from leading companies that meet standards. Providing a full range of services from applying for solar system installation permits as well as after-sales service to an all-in-one customers interested in installing solar cells.

If you are a home loan customer of SCB, you can request an additional home loan to install solar cells with monthly installments of just thousands. But it can save electricity costs and reduce energy consumption in the long run. see details at https://www.scb.co.th/th/personal-banking/loans/home-loans/top-up.htmlhttps://www.scb.co.th/th/personal-banking/loans/home-loans/top-up.html
