Our resources are precious, so protecting them and using them rationally is everyone's responsibility. It's important to preserve them for future generations.

Definition of rationalization:                                         

Is the actions and measurements taken in order to set energy use optimally and reduce waste. Some examples are:
• turn off some lights  (during the day, for example).
• Adjust the air conditioner temperature on the degree of thermal comfort.
• maintain the economic speed of the car on public roads.
•Offset some loads to off-peak time, if possible, regarding the use of electricity.
These procedures do not require any material costs can be circulated through the dissemination of knowledge and concepts of rationalization between the elements of society as a whole programs and also through leaflets addressed to a certain segment of society (industrial or commercial or normal) citizen.

The objectives of rationalization:  

•  Devaluation consumption bill, away from wasteful forbidden,
•  Improve the efficiency of energy use

      • To encourage energy-saving devices through the abolition of customs duty on them.

       • the application of thermal insulation in all buildings.

•  encourage the expansion using renewable energies, especially solar heaters systems.

Ways to rationalize the consumption of electric power in heater equipment :

•  Regulator adjust the temperature at (60OC) and when winter (40OC) in summer.
•  Do not run the heater on a continuous basis throughout the day.
•  Ensure safety thermostat work as the crash lead to the continuation of the work of the heater and more consumption of electric power.
• Make sure there are no leaks in the hot water connections as the leakage also causes the continued operation of the heater and possibly non-stop.
Rationalization measures of cost:
•  The use of solar heater instead of the electric heater.

Ways to rationalize the consumption of electric power in lighting:
Lighting devices are considered the most common electrical devices, they are used in large numbers in the residential and commercial sectors. The high consumption in commercial and public facilities, where the proportion of electricity consumption for lighting in some of the buildings around ((30% of the total electricity consumed in it.

Rationalization measures at no cost:
• Clean light bulbs regularly to increase the efficiency of lighting.
• take advantage of natural lighting.
• Clean windows make the most of natural lighting to take advantage.
• turn off electric lights when leaving the room or the house.

Rationalization measures of cost:
• Paint the walls and ceilings in light colors.
• Stay away as possible from the use of hidden lighting.
• Use good lighting reflectors.
• The use of modern technologies and efficient in decorative lighting with an emphasis on non-extravagant.
• Replace incandescent light bulbs with lamps, energy-saving.
• Determine the intensity of lighting according to the type and nature of the work (according to the recommended schedules worldwide)

Ways to rationalize the consumption of electrical energy in the air-conditioning
The air-conditioning of the most commonly used devices is in the summer, due to the high temperature. Where this device consumes a significant amount of electrical energy which leads to an increase in the value of the electricity bill
Rationalization measures at no cost:
1. regulator adjust the temperature at (24OC-25OC).
2. Close the windows and doors during the period of adjustment.
3. The use of curtains and umbrellas to prevent the entry of sunlight.
4. Clean air conditioner filter monthly accumulated dust to increase operating efficiency.
5. rely on natural ventilation or use electric fans at temperatures moderate external heat to the atmosphere.
6. turn off the air conditioning when you leave the room.

Rationalization measures of cost:
• Regular maintenance of the device include air conditioning (cooling gas compensation, maintenance of temperature regulator, replace the damaged thermal insulation for pipes refrigerant, .... etc).
• shading the external cooling device for air conditioning, and securing adequate ventilation.
• ideal choice for able-conditioned place and localization.
• sealed places of air leaking from windows and doors.
 
Ways to rationalize the consumption of electric power in the irons, television and electric oven cooking

Electric irons:

Rationalization measures at no cost:
• separation of iron from the power when not in use.
-Offsets the electrical load on peak time action:
• The use of irons off-peak times.

TV:

- Close the TV when you leave the room.

Electric cooking ovens:

Rationalization measures at no cost:
• Develop tight lid on cooking pots to accelerate heating and heat preservation.
• Do not place a small pot on a large heat source because it does not speed up the heating process and lead to an increase in energy loss.
• Do not open the oven only when necessary to prevent a lower temperature.
• adjust the gas flow regulator so that we get the same blue color stable flame.
• Do not heat the oven dishes before setting only when necessary.
• turn off the oven before the end of the cooking time short period of time, because the temperature inside the oven is enough to browning cooking.
• Adjust regulator degree necessary when the minimum temperature at the start of the boil.

Ways to rationalize the consumption of electric power in the washing machine and fridge

Washer:

Rationalization measures at no cost:
• Sort and classify laundry and adjust the temperature regulator for the washing machine according to the type of laundry.
• Run the washer or dryer full cargo.
• washing sun drying.
• Use the washing machine or dryer during off-peak times.
Rationalization measures of cost:
• The use of solar heater to heat necessary for the process of washing water.
• Use the washing machine or dryer with high energy efficiency.

Fridge:

Rationalization measures at no cost:
• Do not leave the fridge door open for a long time to prevent outside air from entering it, causing lengthening work compressor cooling circuit.
clean dust from your intensive cleaning.
•  Remove ice from the freezer periodically in regular refrigerators.
• cool hot food outside the fridge before you put it.
• Set the temperature regulator at a temperature appropriate cooling temperature.
• periodic maintenance include (refrigerant compensation, maintenance of temperature regulator, replace the damaged door gaskets of the fridge, etc
