COSTS


Electricity consumption per week=14.799kwh
Electricity consumption per month (theoretical) =14.799kwh *4=59.196kwh
Electricity consumption per month (Actual) =61kwh
Theoretical electricity bill=Rs.369.56
Actual electricity bill=Rs.375.90

LP Gas
LP gas price= Rs.2650
Cost for Transporting the cylinder =Rs.350
Total cost for gas =Rs.2650 + Rs.350=Rs.3000
Duration of using the gas cylinder = 4 months
Cost for gas per month =Rs.3000/4 =Rs.750

Wood
Usage of weight of wood per month =250kg
Cost for wood =Rs.0
Fuel
Usage of kerosene= 1 bottle=750 ml
Cost for kerosene =Rs. 90

ENERGY COST PER MONTH
SOURCE COST

Transport cost =Rs.5000 per month
Total cost = Rs.( 1215+11446+5000)
= Rs.17661



POSSIBILITIES FOR SAVING ENERGY
In home use different type of bulbs for lighting. They have different wattages. Filament bulbs
are using for some places and CFL, LED bulbs are using to other places. Filament type bulbs
consume more energy than other bulbs. So if we can replace CFL or LED bulbs for that can
save energy for consume to lighting.
Replace 9w bulbs f or 60w bulbs
Energy saving per month=

=2.856kwh

As well as can save energy by, in day time mainly use sunlight for lighting home and not use
the electricity.

For ironing cloths use iron 1hour per week. This work is very high energy consumption. If we
can iron all cloths for wanted to week in one time some amount of energy can save.
Weekly all cloths can iron in 45 min

TOTAL COST PER MONTH
There for total energy saving per month=2.856+1=3.856kw

Saving cost for electricity bill Rs.25.00

When using gas cooker, can save energy by using aluminum equipment & high cross sectional
area & low depth cooking equipment.
Normally cook foods 3 times per day in family. If can cook only 2 times per day more
electricity, gas energy are saving.
More energy consumption for cooking like roti, hoppers, string hoppers etc. So can reduce
cooking that type of foods can save energy.
Sometime cooked food can be wasted. So when we cooking select amount of food for
cooking.
When cooking vegetables normally cooked long time but correct method is high temperature
low time. If cook short time energy consumption is low & nutrient content is also high.
For get hot water, can set the solar energy power system. Electricity bill can be reduced.
When Grow some vegetables & fruits in garden can save about Rs.1000 for spent for food.
Total cost for food after saving = RS.11446-Rs.1000=Rs.10446
Total cost after saving=Rs.17661-(Rs.25+1000)=Rs.16636
