DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIFIC TIPS PUSHED

General Tips1. 每月清潔冷氣機隔塵網及每年清洗冷氣機，以達至

最佳空調效果2. 2 LED燈膽比慳電膽更具能源效益，如以LED燈膽代

替鎢絲燈膽，可節省75%電力。而且LED燈膽很耐用，平均壽命是鎢絲燈膽8倍以上。

3. 3 開冷氣時加開電風扇，加快空氣流動，如將冷氣機的溫度調高2-3度，更加慳電。

Specific Tips1. 請記得雪櫃內不要儲存太多食物，所有儲存的食物

應先封存好及排列有序，讓冷空氣可流通無阻。2. 出門遠行前應先清理雪櫃內一切食物，然後關掉電

源3. 雪櫃頂部及四周應留有足夠空間散熱，並定期清潔

雪櫃櫃背的散熱裝置，以免浪費電力

Way Forward

To further increase the

public awareness of energy saving by making good

use of new technologies

To consider incorporating

the energy monitoring sensors in

building design

Further studies on those

appliance not monitored under

this trial

To further promote the energy saving

tips in particular those

overlooked appliance like

refrigerator

Incentive schemes in

different ways to encourage the

change in energy consumption

habits

Thank you!
