Energy-saving initiatives are now everywhere since it’s becoming obvious that the global environment is no longer the same as it used to be and that it could use a little help from people. But more than the global impact that this could do, it’s evident to that finding out the best ways to save power on an individual level is more beneficial for us when it comes to cost-cutting.
Considering that, it will surprise you how much energy your bathroom consumes every day since it can easily be the most popular and used room in the house despite being the smallest. So when you’re trying to implement energy-saving in your house, don’t forget about the things you can do in your bathroom to help with that.
1. Replace Sanitary Wares And Fittings
Whether it’s your faucets, toilet or shower head, if they’re already leaky time to replace them. Once you decide to, opt for sanitary wares that are energy efficient.
Sensor Taps
Sometimes, people worry that while sensor taps may save water, it may also increase their energy usage. But with TOTO Self Power technology, accurate hand detection means only the minimum necessary amount of water is used, while located inside the unit is the second technology, a generator that harnesses the energy from water flowing through the tap to make the micro-sensor energy-self-sufficient.
Showerhead
Fullsun’s TOTO Technology offers two shower heads which are the Aerial Shower and Aerial Pulse that promotes comfortable and enjoyable experience while reducing water consumption. Choose the one that most suitable for your needs as well as your bathroom’s overall appeal that you want to achieve.
Toilet
Our new TOTO Tornado Flush toilet with completely new flushing system cleans and flushes both the rim and bowl in an innovative way where it project three powerful jets of water from inside the bowl so you won’t have to flush twice and clean manually . Aside from that, tornado flushing also reduces the use of chemical cleansing, thus it is environmental friendly.
2. Maintenance
A leaking toilet and taps may not seem as big deal but you’d be surprise with how much water it wastes in a day. 200 liters—Is the reported amount of water any leaking sanitary wares and fittings waste in a day. Not only that this waste a natural resource but it also means paying money for water you didn’t even use. So better fix them as soon as you notice any leak.
3. Replace You Lighting
Remember how lighting can make a room feel cramped or spacious depending on how it illuminates the room? Aside from that, it can definitely change a room’s appeal by replacing lighting fixtures. If you’re still using standard fluorescent, how about you change it up with a statement lighting piece using LED or Compact Fluorescent bathroom lighting? This way they don’t only make the room well-lit and fancy but they also help lessen energy consumption.
4. Switch It Off
As with other rooms in the house, make sure to switch lights off when leaving. Encourage other household members to do the same – maybe a friendly reminder on the door? Remember to unplug devices when not in, this will help prevent the so called ‘vampire drain’ of energy. Try to use bathroom gadgets that can be operated from the mains. This uses electricity more efficiently than battery powered devices. However if you do have battery powered items do not leave them plugged in. We recommend letting them go empty every so often before you charge them up.
