PROBLEM EXPLANATION
There are several problems that people face due to household electricity consumption:
High energy bills: One of the biggest problems is the high cost of electricity, which can significantly
increase monthly expenses.
Environmental impact: Household electricity consumption contributes to greenhouse gas emissions
and climate change.
Power outages: In some regions, electricity demand exceeds the supply, leading to frequent power
outages.
Fire hazards: Improper use of electricity appliances and devices can result in fires, causing damage to
property and posing a risk to safety.
Dependence on non-renewable energy sources: Most of the electricity generated in many countries
comes from non-renewable sources like coal, gas, and oil, which are finite resources.
SOLUTION
Energy Efficiency: Upgrade your home with energy-efficient appliances and lighting, seal air leaks,
and insulate your home to reduce energy waste.
Smart energy management: Implementing smart energy management practices, such as turning off
appliances when not in use, can help reduce energy waste.
Renewable energy: Consider using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to
generate electricity for your home.
LED lighting: Replacing traditional light bulbs with LED lights can significantly reduce energy
consumption and last longer.
Smart meters: Installing smart meters can help monitor energy consumption and identify areas for
improvement.
Insulation: Proper insulation of homes can help reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling.
FEASIBILITY OF SOLUTION
Energy-efficient appliances: Replacing older appliances with energy-efficient models
can significantly reduce energy consumption. Energy star certified appliances are a
good option.
Smart energy management: Turning off appliances when not in use, using power strips
to reduce standby power consumption, and setting thermostats to more energy-
efficient temperatures can help reduce energy waste.
LED lighting: Replacing traditional light bulbs with LED lights can significantly
reduce energy consumption and last longer.
Solar power: Installing solar panels can help reduce dependence on non-renewable
energy sources and reduce energy bills.
Insulation: Proper insulation of homes can help reduce energy consumption for
heating and cooling.
COMPARING WITH EXISTING
SOLUTIONS
In olden days, households typically consumed less electricity because they had fewer
appliances and devices that required electricity to operate.
Additionally many of the appliances and devices that were in use were less energy-efficient
than those used today.
As a result, households generally consumed less electricity and had lower energy bills.
At present by using Energy-efficient appliances we can reduce the electricity consumption
and electricity bills.
By replacing LED lights we can reduce the energy consumption.
By using solar panels we can reduce energ
