The latest energy saving technologies

Welcome to our guide to the newest energy-efficient heating and insulation technologies for your house. In the modern world, where sustainability and energy efficiency are gaining importance, it’s critical to keep up with the newest developments that can improve comfort in our homes while using less energy.

In any household, insulation and heating are essential components of its energy efficiency. In addition to reducing utility costs, homeowners can help save the environment by implementing contemporary energy-saving technologies. Let’s examine a few of this field’s most exciting developments.

Smart thermostats are a major technological advancement that are revolutionizing home energy efficiency. These gadgets do more than just regulate the temperature; they identify patterns in your home and automatically modify the heating or cooling to use the least amount of energy. Certain models even enable precise climate control from anywhere in the world through smartphone remote control.

The creation of cutting-edge insulation materials is a fascinating additional field. These next-generation materials—from aerogels to vacuum-insulated panels—offer better thermal performance than more conventional choices like fiberglass or foam. Homeowners can lessen their reliance on heating and cooling systems by upgrading their insulation, which will drastically reduce heat loss in the winter and keep their homes cooler in the summer.

Significant advancements have also been made in solar heating technologies. Solar thermal systems have the ability to capture solar radiation and use it to heat domestic water and even space. Heat pumps that use solar energy are among the innovations that are becoming more and more popular because of their environmental benefits and efficiency. These systems assist in reducing carbon emissions in addition to decreasing dependency on fossil fuels.

Moreover, energy management is being completely transformed by the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into residential heating systems. Heating schedules can be optimized by AI algorithms using data from energy tariffs, occupancy trends, and weather forecasts. This implies that your heating system can adjust in real-time to maximize energy efficiency and guarantee comfort.

Finally, it is important to note the rise in energy-efficient building designs. For example, passive houses are made with features like airtight construction, superior insulation, and thoughtful sun orientation to optimize natural heating and cooling. By significantly lowering the requirement for mechanical heating and cooling, these designs establish a new benchmark for sustainable living.

It’s evident that homeowners have a wide range of options to improve comfort and efficiency while lowering their carbon footprint as we investigate these newest energy-saving technologies. By adopting these innovations, we not only make living environments healthier but also help ensure future generations have a more sustainable future.

Relevance of the problem

Humanity uses a lot of energy to produce electricity and to burn coal, gas, and oil products. In addition, a large portion of fuel and energy resources are lost as a result of irrational consumption, insufficiently high machine efficiency, and transportation losses.

For instance, heat from industrial machinery and automobile engines is ineffective. Heat "escapes" from heated rooms in large quantities through windows, walls, and ventilation. A significant amount of energy is squandered on lighting locations that only occasionally require it, etc.

However, the world’s fuel and energy reserves, as well as those of each individual nation, are finite and will eventually run out. Furthermore, fuel and energy resources are getting more expensive due to their growing scarcity. For this reason, energy-saving technologies are currently being actively adopted worldwide.

Although Russia is lagging behind Europe in this process, significant progress has already been made in this direction. For instance, using incandescent lights with a power of greater than 100 W is not permitted. Cities are also gradually switching to LED or other energy-efficient lighting for their streets.

Stricter regulations are imposed on the insulation of buildings, and boiler houses and thermal power plants convert from costly fuel oil to more affordable and environmentally friendly gas. The use of alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar power, is growing. Equipment used in transportation and industrial settings is being replaced with less energy-intensive equipment.

Unfortunately, these processes are still evolving too slowly and do not yet encompass the entire national economy.

Vortex type thermogenerators

How it works:

The liquid is untwisted in a housing, or coil, by means of an impeller.

The stream of liquid becomes a vortex.

It becomes clear that there are several gas bubbles forming in the vortex due to the cavitation effect.

Heat is released when bubbles burst, heating the water.

Although this effect hasn’t been thoroughly studied, it works well in real-world situations.

The electric motor powers the impeller.

An electric pump is utilized in place of an impeller in an alternative version.

After the water is forced into the cavitation tube by the pump, the same things happen: heat, bubbles, and vortex.

It is possible to organize hot water supply systems and heat buildings.

Pros of energy saving technology:

• high efficiency, the coefficient of conversion of electric energy into thermal energy reaches 1, which is unattainable for electric heating devices,
• autonomy from centralized heating and hot water supply systems,
• There is no need to carry out lengthy approvals with supervisory agencies,
• simple installation, easy to connect to the building"s water heating system,
• structural reliability.

Thermogenerators also have minuses:

• high cost of equipment,
• high noise level from electric motors and cavitators,
• large construction sizes.

Cutting-edge innovations, such as thermogenerators

Recommendations:

Thermogenerators of the vortex type are appropriate for heating isolated buildings that are not linked to a central heating system.

Thermogenerators are a relatively new energy-saving technology that isn’t yet extensively utilized for heating.

Different capacities (ranging from one or two to tens of kilowatts) are produced for thermogenerators.

When choosing a model based on the number of premises, the power grid’s load capacity must be considered.

History of energy saving programs in Russia

Energy conservation in Russia is accomplished, along with other strategically significant tasks, with the assistance of the program-targeted management approach, which has been in use for many years. A program to save energy is a collection of actions to accomplish particular aims and objectives.

"Energy Efficient Economy for 2002-2005" was the initial program, and it ran until 2010.The "program-targeted management method" was authorized on November 17, 2001, by Russian Federation Government Resolution No. 796. The fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation saw improvements as a result of the program’s implementation; however, in 2006, the program’s financing system experienced significant failures, which led to a significant decline in its efficiency and its closure by Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1446-r.

The RF Government Decree N 479 in 2013 terminated the second state program, "Energy saving and energy efficiency improvement for the period up to 2020," after it had only been in operation for 2.5 years.

It was replaced by the "Energy Efficiency and Energy Development" energy-saving initiative, which ran for less than a year before being closed in 2014 by a Russian government decree dated April 15, 2014.

The Russian Federation’s Ministry of Energy has approved the "Energy Efficiency and Energy Development" program of 2014, which is currently in operation. As per the 15.04.2014 N 321 Resolution of the Russian Federation’s Government. Although its effectiveness will take time to manifest, we can already gauge the scope of the anticipated outcomes: by 2020, the GDP’s energy intensity should have decreased by more than 9% from its 2007 level. The development of coal, oil, and gas production as well as the use of alternative energy sources in industry are also planned under this program’s framework.

Energy efficient heating

The heat pump’s basic principle of operation.

It is impossible to save energy in a private home without considering heating, even though it is a real possibility. The kind of energy carrier distinguishes different heating systems:

• gas;
• electric;
• solid fuel;
• liquid-fuel;
• heat pumps;
• solar systems.

Everything is easy to use and enjoy when you have gas. It is currently the most economical heating option that doesn’t require significant upfront costs. Boilers powered by electricity Boilers are not energy-efficient; they consume just as much as they produce. Using a heat accumulator and a dual-rate meter is the only way to reduce expenses. The heat accumulator is charged by the boiler during the night at a discounted rate. The boiler only operates during the daytime hours when absolutely necessary. This marks the end of an electric boiler-heated house’s energy-saving components.

There are already more ways to save money with solid fuel stoves and boilers. The afterburning of pyrolysis gases is the basis for almost all contemporary models, which boosts efficiency to 85%—a respectable level for such units. Energy-saving pyrolysis appliances for homes powered by solid fuels operate differently from conventional units:

In the solar system, coolant flows through the tubes.

• These systems do not burn fuel, but smolder it;
• the energy carrier decomposes from top to bottom;
• relatively low temperature (about 450 degrees Celsius) is maintained in the furnace and oxygen deficiency is artificially created. Under these conditions, the pyrolysis reaction begins – the release of wood gases;
• Pyrolysis gas rises to the second chamber, where it is enriched with oxygen, as a result of which it ignites and releases heat energy. Secondary combustion takes place.

The second afterburning chamber must exist in order for the gas to avoid shooting into the pipe. This method naturally raises residential buildings’ energy efficiency. As we have already explained, the quality of the burner in particular determines how efficient liquid-fuel heating systems are.

Systems that use the energy of the elements (earth, water, and wind) are called heat pumps. Function similarly to a traditional refrigerator, but in the other way.

It turns out that heating the house doesn’t cost anything at all, but you do need to make some initial, sizable investments. Over a 30-year period, these energy-saving home systems pay for themselves. Heat pumps are not appropriate for high-temperature heating systems because they only warm the coolant to 35 to 40 degrees, which is sufficient for low-temperature systems to "warm the floor."

While heliosystems and solar panels share a similar appearance, they function slightly differently. Conventional solar panels use solar radiation to generate electrical energy, and heliosystems use the heat from the sun to heat the heating medium. Both year-round and seasonal solar systems exist, but they work best in areas with plenty of sunshine. An integral component of solar-powered home heating systems is a buffer tank, also known as a heat accumulator. We have already discussed the benefits of solar heating systems in one of our earlier articles.

Detailed examination of the experiment when using an energy saving device

Experience 1: After turning off every appliance in the space, the voltage (223 V) is measured. After turning on the device in the closest outlet, the voltage is measured once more and fixed at an increase of 2 V.

Experience 2: The electric stove’s 2 kW burner is turned on without any connected appliances. Using current measuring pliers, the load is calculated and found to be 8.92 A. Nothing changed when the appliance was plugged into the mains.

Experience 3: The energy-saving appliance can change the load by up to 1.65 ΐ when it is connected to the network. When the washing machine is turned on and in the "spin" mode, an inductive load is used. The circuit’s current measurement is 3.12 A. There is no electricity savings because the meter disk spins at a steady speed.

A bit of physics

Since most loads in household networks are active-inductive (kettles, coffee makers, washing machines, etc.), losses are caused by the lag between the AC phase and the voltage phase when inductive loads are present. Reactive energy, or inductive energy, produces magnetic fields that add to the load on the power line. Active energy is transformed into useful energy. This energy oscillates as it moves through the grid, going from the generator to the load and back again. Reactive power can make up anywhere between 15 and 45% of the total power in the network, depending on the kind of useful load.

The "smart" energy-saving gadget uses a metered and paid-for full power, which means that if reactive power is removed, 15–45% less electricity is used.

• simplicity and convenience in use and energy saving;
• power supply is improved;
• reduced heating of electrical wiring;
• noise and vibration levels are reduced;
• no harmful electromagnetic radiation is generated;
• the service life of the equipment is increased;
• protection of electrical appliances against voltage fluctuations;
• uniform current distribution without surges and drops.

Energy efficient building technologies

Energy-efficient building materials and technologies are being used more and more in both new construction and historic building reconstruction today. The new line of brick-monolithic and panel homes is constructed precisely to optimize energy and heat carrier savings. Low-rise private housing construction follows the same general pattern. Here are some actions that, when compared to the previous generation of panel houses, can cut energy use by as much as 50%.

• Use of building materials that preserve heat well: bricks, monolithic concrete, gas concrete (in case of cottage construction – frame cottages, monolith with fixed foam-propylene formwork);
• Sealed windows, door closers, heat curtains in entrance areas;
• Heating system with the possibility of apartment metering and heat regulation;
• Utilization of ground heat, waste water and removed ventilation air in the heat pumping system of hot water supply;
• Control system for heat, energy supply of the house (taking into account climatic data and internal heat generation);
• Use of energy efficient appliances in building engineering systems.

Evaluation of the efficiency of energy saving technologies

Using materials with high heat resistance, cutting-edge engineering tools, renewable and secondary energy sources—in other words, energy-saving measures—is required to raise the building’s energy consumption to the passive house standard. Energy efficiency is determined by taking into account both the financial outlay for a specific home improvement and the benefits that the owner will receive from it.

The effect of the new technology on the production and consumption of a specific kind of resource must first be computed. While doing this, it’s important to evaluate:

• The degree of resource savings (the difference of resources used by energy efficient and conventional equipment during the calculation period when the same amount of energy is generated).
• Energy production effect (the difference or ratio of the amount of energy produced over a certain period by the compared equipment options when using the same amount of resources).

These indicators will help us determine whether it’s necessary to move forward with the economic impact calculation. It is computed by comparing the expenditures incurred in purchasing new (and potentially disassembling old) machinery with the proceeds from energy savings from swapping out inefficient appliances for more contemporary models (over a predetermined amount of time). This distinction will become apparent to the owner after a predetermined amount of time following the application of the energy-efficient solution. Installing solar panels or recuperators typically pays for themselves in three to five years.

The energy savings in residential and social buildings in the city of Gdansk. Moscow

With the advent of the first energy efficiency program, the approach to building construction in Russia has changed dramatically. Specific regulatory requirements were introduced for thermal protection of building envelopes and their energy consumption. Designers strictly followed the requirements of normative documents, but studies have shown that residential buildings in Moscow, which were built after 2000, almost 2 times exceed the established norm. On average during the heating period they consumed up to 160 kWh per m2 of living space, while the norm is 95 kWh per 1 m2. In this context, changes have been introduced that have led not only to the regulation of energy consumption but also to the application of specific energy efficient solutions in residential and public building projects.

Currently, social and residential buildings (schools, kindergartens, etc.) use a variety of energy-efficient solutions. ο.) A range of energy-efficient techniques are being used:

• Automatic metering devices for hot water and coolant consumption in the heating system are used.
• Regulators on the radiators are used, allowing each resident to adjust the temperature in the room at his/her discretion.
• Insulated pipelines to reduce heat losses.
• Air handling units with a heat recovery system are used.
• Building envelopes include high-quality insulation and three-chamber double-glazed windows.

A few incentives have been developed for energy-efficient home construction in addition to restricting building designs. For instance, owners of energy-efficient buildings are eligible for tax breaks:

1. The tax base does not include property with a high class of energy efficiency for three years from the date of registration (Federal Law of 7.06.2011 NO. 132-FZ).
2. There is a possibility to double the depreciation of such property (Federal Law No. 23 of 2009 No. 132-FZ).11.2010 NO. 261-FZ).

Residents of the city of Gdansk are also motivated to use reasonable energy consumption by tariff incentives. Moscow.

Lighting control in public facilities

A modern office or public space would be difficult to envision without automated systems for controlling utilities and technical equipment. Controlling lighting is one of the most crucial systems. With various switches, we control the light every day in our homes and offices. Conversely, contemporary systems enable automated lighting control, allowing you to customize light accents and achieve more cost-effective and comfortable lighting control.

Keeping the lights on at all times

The system’s operation relies on keeping a steady light at the workplace illumination level in compliance with the regulations, which vary based on the 2010 TM 261-FZ) intensity of natural daylight requirements. Utilized light sensors to control luminescent luminaires’ luminous flux within a 1–100% range.

By using such a solution, energy savings of up to 70% can be achieved in comparison to current conventional lighting schemes. The following elements enable this degree of savings:

– The installed capacity of lighting fixtures in the room is reduced
by 1.5-2 times compared to the use of traditional solutions and taking into account the observance of
all requirements of regulatory documents;
– the use of a light sensor provides a proportional reduction of
power consumed by the luminaire in the presence of daylight in the room.

Energy-saving

Give up wasting money on lighting bathrooms, hallways, technical rooms, and empty spaces. Only in rooms with occupants will automatic lighting control leave the lights on. When you walk out of a hallway or stairwell, the lighting automatically turns on, softly lighting your way before shutting off a short while later.

For illumination of spaces with sporadic human presence (halls, corridors, bookstores, offices, etc.); motion sensor-based automated lighting control systems.

When a person enters the sensor area, the sensor’s basic method of operation involves turning on the luminaire. Depending on the sensor settings, the light turns off after a certain amount of time when a person leaves the sensor area. thereby removing the needless use of electricity in lighting systems for locations where people are only occasionally present.

You can get assistance from "Dynamics of Light" in designing, implementing, installing, and adjusting automated lighting control systems in your home or place of business.

Final word

Naturally, you ought to conserve electricity. However, caution must be used. Electricity saving boxes and similar devices are not appropriate for this use. This is just one more method of taking advantage of people in need of money.

Always turn off the lights when you leave a room, don’t leave appliances running, and switch off heaters when they’re not in use to reduce your energy costs. By the end of the month, you’ll notice that the savings percentage has already increased to more like 20–30%. And there is still more to come. You can always find ways to cut costs without compromising your personal preferences or level of comfort.

Saving money at home is a corollary of protecting the environment. Ten minutes less of light bulb illumination indicates that less coal or fuel oil was burned in the heating plant. However, you must be mindful of your financial situation. Not every novelty is equally practical and useful. There are times when they can only hurt.

Scientific research

The effect of reverse energy in coils was not widely recognized until large businesses with massive electricity consumption and machineries were involved. The hunt for a gadget, tentatively dubbed the prototype Electricity Saving Box, then started. which became the topic of discussion and which at certain places actually applies the industrial device’s operating principle.

Researchers have discovered that while machinery does not use reactive electricity, it can be amassed with the aid of capacitors. Making accurate calculations of the power and capacity is crucial in this situation. After the capacitor discharges, the reactive energy is converted to active energy.

Research has indicated that when used on a large scale, these catchers result in considerable cost savings. However, the plant’s hundreds of electric motors are the reason for all of this. They live in apartments and number no more than twenty. Two to three coils operate simultaneously at the same time.

Infrared heating systems

Any design of infrared heating device works on the basic principle of converting electricity to heat and emitting that heat as infrared radiation. All surfaces in its radiation range are heated by the unit, and the heated air inside comes from them. As opposed to convective heat, this type of heat is thought to be the best since it has no negative effects on human health.

As a point of reference. There are two parts to the heat flux: convective and radiant heat flow. The first is the radiation that is infrared and is produced by heated surfaces. Direct air heating is the second. Only 10% of the heat from all infrared heating systems, which use energy-saving technology, is used to warm the air; 90% of the heat is transferred by radiation. Simultaneously, heater efficiency remains constant at 99%.

There are two newer and increasingly popular types of infrared systems on the market today:

• long-wave ceiling heaters;
• film floor systems.

Long-wave radiators don’t glow like the UFO heaters we’re used to because their heating elements operate on a different principle. A directed stream of infrared radiation with a wavelength of up to 100 microns is produced when a heating element attached to an aluminum plate is heated to a maximum temperature of 600 ºC. The suspended plate device heats the surfaces within its action zone while hanging from the ceiling.

As a matter of fact, the room will receive precisely the same amount of heat from these energy-efficient electric heating systems as from the network. But they use radiation, which is a different method. Only when a person is directly under the heater can they feel the heat flow.

Unlike convective systems, these systems require a considerable amount of time to increase the room’s air temperature. This is not unexpected because heat is transferred through floors, walls, and other surfaces rather than straight to the air.

Use of floor heating systems by intermediaries and their PLAN. This is two layers of sturdy film with a carbon heating element sandwiched between them. Silver paste has been applied to the bottom layer to reflect heat upward. Under the laminate or other type of floor covering, the foil is placed on the screed or in the spaces between the lags. This covering acts as a conduit for heat transfer; the system warms the laminate first, then the heat is transferred to the room’s air.

As it happens, the floor covering transforms infrared heat into convective heat, albeit a process that requires time. The efficiency of the so-called energy-saving heating system in the house, which uses film floor heating, is 99%. So what is the true benefit of these kinds of systems? It consists of keeping the heating consistent while keeping the equipment out of the room’s usable space. Furthermore, the installation in this instance is not as complicated as a radiator or water underfloor heating system.

energy saving device

– and you will reduce your monthly energy expenses by 15 to 45 percent!? (Remember to check the reviews, too)

"There are actual savings." Additionally, we’ll discuss specific numbers for your appliances—heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, irons, electric stoves, and electric light bulbs—at the conclusion of this article.

How it works. Read carefully –

Unknowingly, we pay for losses as well as use when we use an electric meter to pay for electricity. From where do these losses originate? Without revealing any "clever details," allow us to share a secret with you:

– There is "Active energy" and "Reactive energy" in a 220 (and 380) volt power grid.

In other words, "active" energy is transformed into useful energy by converting the "active" into useful energy.It is thermal and mechanical; it is the one that washes, irons, cooks, and so on. Furthermore, "reactive" merely generates magnetic fields as it moves from the generator (source) to the consumer and back, doing no beneficial work. Its percentage of the power grid can range from 15% to 45%, depending on the kind of consumer (lightbulb, kettle, iron, etc.). Since the electric meter is made to account for all of the energy, our energy-saving device is made to screen out this "reactive" energy.

Future purchasers are advised by the makers of this cost-effective gadget that it should be connected in parallel (that is, after the electric meter) to the socket. Its existence "locks" reactive currents in a localized circle, preventing them from "running" through the electrical grid. Power stabilizes efficiency, and the power grid’s voltage surges are smoothed out.

In a word – we save on electricity payments!

Biobattery

Energy-saving technology has progressed to the point where it now has plots akin to science fiction films. It is possible to directly implant a new biobattery into a human being. The electric eel serves as the model for the mechanism.

For people who wear prosthetics, augmented reality contact lenses, or pacemakers, this approach is perfect. These devices require power supplies in order to function, which can be quite inconvenient. One biocompatible energy source that can run continuously without causing harmful emissions or disruptions is the biobattery.

Expert programmers have focused on the eel’s method of producing electricity. Its body voltage travels through tiny groups of lektoks, or electrolytes, which move potassium and sodium ions in multiple directions to produce electricity.

Based on the electrodialysis principle, the mechanism enables the application of this energy-saving technology by utilizing potential differences within human physiological fluids. Although humans are not yet able to generate pulses as strong as those generated by eels, they are still more than enough to power internal electrical appliances. Though research in this area is ongoing, scientists do not rule out the possibility that in the near future they will discover how to fully utilize the human body, which will make it possible to establish power supply for both inside and outside appliances that are in close proximity to people at home.

Energy-efficient consumers

By using electronic appliances, which use the least amount of electricity to complete their tasks, one can drastically reduce their consumption of electricity. These include thermopots and high-efficiency infrared heaters for the home. For instance, switching from an electric kettle to a thermopot can save energy because the thermopot’s reflective interior walls allow it to keep the water at a steady temperature for several hours without boiling.

Up to twice as much energy can be saved by using appliances with energy classes A+ and A as opposed to classes F and G.

The air is heated by incandescent bulbs using some of the electricity they consume. Energy-efficient lamps of today don’t have this drawback. When it comes to lighting the same area, energy-saving lamps use three to five times less electricity than incandescent ones. When comparing four energy-saving lamps to equivalent incandescent lamps, Table 3 displays the savings (at 2010 rates, excluding annual tariff increases).

Savings from the use of energy-efficient lamps are shown in Table 3.

Electric cars of a new type

Energy-saving technology is being aggressively introduced by the transportation sector, and drivers actively support these advancements. The development of electric vehicles, which allowed for a decrease in the price of operating a motor vehicle and an increase in the requirements for environmentally friendly transportation, was the most recent revolutionary development. However, the research didn’t end there, and over the past year, a number of additional projects have been submitted.

The use of specialized nozzles that will collect waste gases after fuel consumption and transform their heat into electricity has been proposed by Americans. With the help of this generator, the amount of gasoline needed to move the car as well as run the air conditioning and music system inside will be reduced.

Another proposal in the motor transport market piqued the interest of major automakers: energy-saving hybrid systems that enable cars to run on gasoline fuel on highways and electric power in urban settings.

Economical generation of heat

This is where it all begins: the boiler room is where any energy carrier consumption process begins. This is your heating equipment, and the amount that you have to pay each month for it primarily determines how well it works and what fuels it.

Thus, the following are typically found in private homes’ boiler rooms:

• gas boilers;
• solid fuel heat generators;
• electric boilers.

It is common knowledge that technological advancements occur constantly, and heating equipment is updated nearly annually. However, the energy-saving gas boiler has not materialized to this day. What, after all, controls the thermal unit’s efficiency? effectiveness. Furthermore, gas heat generator efficiency has already reached 97% today, compared to a mere 90% a few years ago. Condensing boilers are those that use the most energy-efficient heating technologies available.

A chemical reaction results in the release of water during a typical gas combustion, which instantly turns into steam and removes some of the heat from the fuel’s combustion. After that, the water vapor would successfully exit the boiler through the chimney, carrying a small amount of heat with it. The high efficiency of condensing heat generators is attributed to their ability to force steam to condense back and return the withdrawn energy.

Burning wood, or other organic fuel, is a more involved process. Regretfully, its energy content cannot be extracted as effectively as that of natural gas. A solid fuel unit cannot be considered energy-saving due to its 75% efficiency. However, there is one point about how it works even here. In maximum mode, a wood boiler will only operate at 75% efficiency; unlike users who prefer to leave their boilers smoldering continuously. Thus, the conclusion is that, in order to guarantee equipment economy, a heat accumulator that is loaded by a heat generator running at peak efficiency can be used.

You can be confident that there isn’t a more energy-efficient boiler than the electric one in your furnace room. It is just not feasible to get more out of the unit given its greatest efficiency of 98–99%.

However, a freestanding circulation pump is something to think about. Any energy-saving heating in a private home could be rendered ineffective by an improperly chosen pump.

When it is taken with twice the pressure reserve, this is the situation. A powerful unit that operates nonstop for six months will consume a significant amount of electricity.

Practice demonstrates that, for a house up to 200 m2, a 25/40 pump with a pressure of 4 m of water column is more than sufficient. A good reserve will be provided if you choose to go with a 25/60 (6 m) unit (water street).

Read between the lines

The primary feature that draws clients is the Electricity Saving Box’s ability to convert reactive energy. User reviews found on the seller’s websites suggest that customers essentially forgot about the issue of paying their electricity bills after making the purchase.

Reactive energy can counteract the effects of active energy, according to the description itself. Additionally, the first one has a considerable negative impact on the amount on the light bill even though the meter does not account for it (recall that it is produced inside the network).

However, physics experts will argue that this claim is false. Reactive energy can only, in the end, somewhat raise the amount of electricity that appliances use. Furthermore, producers of home appliances frequently consider this fact and incorporate capacitors—which are actually the same savers—right away. There is nothing to catch on the network because of this.

The Electricity Saving Box device’s manufacturers also assert that their product prevents contacts from scaling and stabilizes voltage. These two claims are nonsensical and unfounded. This device operates in parallel, but stabilizers can only operate in series connections. And only in the event of poor contacts does scale form. And the only way to avoid that is to restore them.

Household version of the saver

Innovative manufacturers have developed the Electricity Saving Box based on scientific research. Significant skepticism is raised by the seller’s website’s operation concept, reviews, and features. And all of this is due to the fact that the home power grid has fewer sources of reactive electricity. So, it is unlikely that you will be able to save a lot of money on it.

It is stated that there is a 50% decrease in electricity usage. Not even in production is this savings rate discussed. But there’s a lot of electrical resistance there.

In the apartment, only the refrigerator runs nonstop. Every other source of reactivity is briefly and sporadically turned on. TV, microwave, hair dryer, food processor, and air conditioner are a few of these. It is unlikely that the savings will be greater than 10% in these circumstances. By making minor adjustments to the family’s electricity consumption pattern, the same outcome can be obtained without incurring significant costs.

The pursuit of energy efficiency in home insulation and heating has resulted in innovative technological advancements. The newest energy-saving technologies provide creative ways to cut back on energy use and environmental effect. Homeowners now have more options than ever to make their homes eco-friendly and efficient, from cutting-edge insulation materials that maximize heat retention to smart heating systems managed by sensors and artificial intelligence. These technologies play a major role in lowering carbon footprints in addition to helping to lower energy bills. Homeowners can actively participate in the global effort towards energy conservation and environmental stewardship while also transforming their homes into comfortable, cost-effective, and sustainable living spaces by investigating and implementing these innovative solutions.

Installing multi-tariff meters

You can save up to 45–50% on your electricity bill by installing a two- or multi-tariff electricity meter in place of a conventional single-tariff meter (Mosenergo). Turning on energy-intensive appliances, such as the washing machine and swimming pool’s water, can result in savings. д.) at times when energy costs are at their lowest. For instance, the price of power is roughly 25% of the daily (maximum) rate at night and approximately 16% during the "half-peak zone."

Single-phase and three-phase single-tariff meters can be reprogrammed to operate in a multi-tariff mode.

Recycling water supply

Utilizing recycling water supply systems can help decrease the amount of water used in businesses, homes, and office buildings.

Industrial plants use cooling systems, purification, and water for technological processes.

After being cleaned and filtered, the water is returned to the technical water supply system.

Heat exchangers are not limited to discharging heat into the atmosphere; they can also be utilized for cooling water.

The plant or nearby structures can be heated using the heat that has been stored.

The process of treating wastewater to drinking water quality is costly and time-consuming.

Separate pipelines are supplied when constructing systems using recycled water.

Keep the technical and potable pipelines apart.

The technical pipeline can be utilized for territory cleaning, watering lawns, draining plumbing fixtures, and cleaning the building.

There are large financial savings when recycled water systems are used.

The stock of treated recycled water is kept in storage tanks.

Pros of the technology:

• reduction of water supply costs and, in some cases, heating costs;
• reserve of autonomy of the enterprise due to the volume of technical water.

Minuses of the technology:

• increased costs in the design and construction of buildings with recycled water systems (installation of cooling towers, redundant water pipelines, process water tanks);
• In case of low flow rate of process water, accumulation tanks are overfilled and the excess is discharged into the water disposal system;
• expensive water treatment plants, they require regular maintenance, replacement of chemical reagents.

Technologies that save energy: recycled water systems

Recommendations:

Although they are an expensive technology, circulating systems are a novel approach to energy conservation.

When there is no centralized water supply or little opportunity for consumption (a water shortage), the use of recycled water systems is advised.

Water from areas with high impurity levels, or poor water quality, must first be treated and purified before it can be sold to consumers; this is more expensive water.

Classic Chinese product

It is not pleasant to acknowledge, but China has gained a reputation for producing the lowest-quality goods worldwide in recent years. Furthermore, one-day products don’t give a damn about this problem if the well-known products made here filter out the flaws at every turn. Among the dubious products is the energy saver, the Electricity Saving Box. According to reviews, the product is packaged poorly and has instructions that are either impossible to read in Russian or do not exist at all. It is also immediately apparent that the housing’s plastic is of low quality.

All of this raises the immediate suspicion that the "stuffing" is not up to the buyer’s expectations. This is how things actually are. Individuals have demonstrated time and time again through practical experience that Chinese appliances and gadgets do not meet any quality standards. As a result, buying them is, as many reviews claim, very risky.

Heat exchangers in the ventilation system heat and cold recovery

How it works:

In the winter, heat is also removed from the building by the ventilation system.

The microclimate parameters will deteriorate if the air exchange rate is decreased, which is not possible.

Heat exchangers help cut down on energy usage.

The ventilation system has installed heat exchangers.

The air in the supply duct receives heat energy from the exhaust duct’s air.

The heat exchanger operates in the opposite way during the summer, cooling the incoming air flow with air from the building that has been cooled by air conditioners.

The following types of heat exchangers are found in ventilation systems:

• radiator type (cold and warm air pass through different channels, but they have common walls – this is how heat exchange takes place),
• heat exchangers with additional heat carrier (two radiators are installed in the supply and exhaust ducts, which are connected by pipelines with gas or liquid),
• heat exchangers that partially mix the "dirty" and fresh air streams.

Pluses of this energy-saving technology:

• saving energy costs for heating and cooling of premises,
• Reducing heat emission into the atmosphere – environmental protection.

Minuses of heat exchangers

Heat exchangers are much larger than ventilation ducts; the box they are housed in is two or three times larger.

It is hard to retrofit the heat exchange units later; the ventilation system must be designed with them in mind from the beginning.

Recommendations

Not only are heat exchange systems installed in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Heat can be produced at work by a variety of equipment, which can be used to heat other rooms.

Server rooms require continuous cooling of their computers and network equipment throughout the year.

Heating can be accomplished by using the heat produced by electrical circuits through ventilation’s heat exchange system.

The same is true for industrial machinery and livestock farms, where heating expenses can be reduced by harnessing the heat produced by the animals.

LED lighting

So far, possibly the most efficient way for anyone to make something that lights up LEDs is with their own hands. These lamps have an efficiency of almost 100%; the same amount of light produced by 100 W in an incandescent bulb is equivalent to 7 W in an LED lamp. They are incredibly small. Usually, they are utilized for constructing strips or putting together lights (such as spotlights). There are numerous variations of LED-based lamps as well as direct lamps. The availability of both common appliances and an incredible array of uncommon products opens up a world of creative possibilities for the designer.

Their exceptional durability—more than 25,000 hours of continuous use, or nearly three years—allows you to designate them as non-removable. They do not have the flickering, continuous burning that comes with fluorescent lights. They don’t contain any mercury. With the exception of design extras, they don’t need a special light fixture because they are significantly smaller than other kinds of lamps. They also have a full spectrum of luminescence colors, so you can change not just the light’s brightness but also its color—warmer tones are better for recreation and colder tones for work.

So far, the primary drawback has been their expense. But given market saturation and mass production, it appears that prices will fall sharply in the near future.

The essence of energy saving

First, we would like to share a small secret. It might surprise you to learn that all electric heaters use less energy. What does this term actually mean for a device that releases thermal energy, after all? It indicates that the boiler or heater converts fuel or electrical energy into heat as effectively as possible; the unit’s efficiency determines how effective this conversion is.

Thus, all of the electric heaters in the building have an efficiency of 98–99%; this means that no heat source that burns a variety of fuels can be claimed by an indicator of this kind. Even in actual use, purportedly energy-efficient electric heating systems consume 100 W of electricity while producing 98–99 W of heat. Once more, any electric heater—from the most costly infrared systems and boilers to inexpensive heat fans—can benefit from this statement.

As an illustration of comparison. Although 1 kg of dry firewood should provide 4.8 KW of heat on average, the boiler’s 75% efficiency actually only allows for 3.6 kW of heat to be produced. An electric heater is far more energy-efficient; for every 4.8kW it uses from the network, it provides 4kW to the home. 75 kW.

Solar panels or heat pumps are the most energy-efficient heating options available. However, no miracles occur here either; all these gadgets do is harvest energy from the surroundings and bring it into the house, requiring almost no payment for grid electricity. Furthermore, the cost of these installations is very high; therefore, our objective is to take into account, for instance, reasonably priced market innovations that are marketed as energy-saving ones. Among them are:

• infrared heating systems;
• induction energy-saving electric boilers for heating.

Automation of life support systems of buildings

The term "intelligent building" refers to the idea that a building management system unites all engineering systems in a residential or commercial building by doing the following:

• Continuously monitors sensor readings;
• Automatically controls the operation of engineering systems;
• Promptly responds to an emergency situation.

The following are some ways that users gain from utilizing "" systems and intelligent buildings:

• Reduction of utility bills;
• Maximizes the comfort of living by automating the operation of engineering systems;
• The ability to control and monitor a building using the internet and cell phones;
• Increased building safety.

As a result, the building merges into a single complex that can both automatically provide humans with comfortable conditions and enable manual control of various aspects like lighting and air temperature in the rooms. This feature, which is measured in meters of water column, indicates both the force needed to overcome the horizontal pipeline’s resistance and the actual height of lift. The lowest possible consumption of electrical energy and other energy carriers is made possible by the best possible interaction of engineering systems and carefully considered control algorithms.

The idea of "intelligent building" from the perspective of system integration consists of:

• Building management system (special software for centralized management of engineering systems plus software for dispatchers" workplaces);
• Engineering system integration units;
• Intelligent controllers and processors.

The structure of the Smart House system is largely the same. However, the engineering systems are managed by user-friendly, ergonomic LCD control panels because the smart home is intended for the end user rather than a dispatcher with professional training.

The building’s engineering systems, including the following, can all be operated under control thanks to the building management system:

• Electrical supply and lighting systems of the building;
• Heating and air conditioning systems (including pool, roof and gutter heating, floor heating);
• Elevator control (for multi-storey buildings);
• Television and multimedia systems;
• Security systems (access control, video surveillance, security and fire alarm systems, fire extinguishing).

It is feasible to configure algorithms for each of these systems to reduce the amount of electricity used; Table 1 provides examples. in Table 1.)

Examples of energy-efficient building engineering system use are shown in Table 1.

• Automatic start-up of energy-intensive installations
• Utilization of optimal modes of electric heating;
• Automatic switching on/off of electricity by presence sensor;
• Control of blinds and lighting depending on the light level in the room.

• Automatic regulation of heating in the heating system taking into account the outdoor temperature, wind direction and other climatic parameters;
• Heating and air-conditioning modes depending on the time of day and number of people in the room.

• Transfer of elevators to standby mode with switching off lighting and ventilation;
• Energy regeneration in operation mode.

• Automatic shutdown by a signal from a presence sensor.

• Activation of video recording from cameras by motion detector, signal from the security system, etc.д.;
• Switching on camera backlighting/switching to color mode by signal from OPS sensor.

1.5–7% of the building project’s overall cost, or 30–40% of the engineering systems cost, is allocated to the Intelligent Building. On the other hand, you can save up to 20% on the price of heat, power, and water supply (see Tab. 2 for more information). Based on data, a system of this kind pays for itself after three to five years of use.

Savings with "Intelligent Building" and "Smart Home" Systems, Table 2.

Conclusions

We are convinced that no miracles are genuinely offered to us after thinking through a few straightforward examples. Both infrared systems and induction electric boilers do not generate free heat. Simply put, salespeople deceive the public into believing they can save 30, 50%, or even 70% of their money and convince them to purchase expensive equipment.

However, avoid going too far and declaring that the new products that are coming out are uncool or inappropriate for use. On the other hand, as we’ve shown in the examples below, new heating appliances have benefits. It is important to approach the decision-making process carefully and focus on how much power these products use. Regarding energy-saving technologies, we have complete control over them. You can save a significant amount of money by insulating your home, installing thermostatic controllers in each room, and setting up the ventilation system properly. This will lower the building’s overall energy consumption.

Technology	Description
Solar Panels	Convert sunlight into electricity to power the home.
Smart Thermostats	Adjust heating and cooling based on occupancy and usage patterns.

The newest energy-saving technologies present promising answers in today’s quest for more environmentally friendly and effectively functioning homes. Modern insulation materials and smart thermostats are just two of the many tools available to homeowners looking to cut energy costs and minimize their utility bills.

Heating systems are one important area of innovation. For example, contemporary heat pumps can effectively draw heat from the ground or the air, providing a greener option to conventional heating techniques. Over time, these systems not only lower carbon emissions but also result in significant cost savings.

The advancement of smart home technologies is another fascinating field. With the help of these systems, homeowners can optimize energy use by controlling their heating and cooling remotely in response to changes in weather and occupancy patterns. Households can minimize energy waste and maximize comfort by integrating automated controls and sensors.

Additionally, improvements in insulation materials have completely changed how energy-efficient buildings can be. These materials, which range from vacuum-insulated panels to aerogels, offer exceptional thermal resistance, minimizing heat loss and preserving constant interior temperatures. This reduces dependency on mechanical heating and cooling systems while simultaneously improving comfort.

It is imperative that we adopt these energy-saving technologies as we work towards a more sustainable future. In addition to providing homeowners with reduced energy costs and increased comfort, they also support international efforts to slow down climate change. Putting money into these innovations is a step toward building homes that are more energy-efficient and sustainable for future generations.
