Our energy saving campaign drew participation from more than 110 residents who slashed their utility costs at home during the peak of summer. We sat down with Sanjay Lahoti from Boulevard Crescent to find out what he did.
Your plan of action in bringing those gallons and kilowatts down…
We set our AC thermostat to 24-25 degrees and auto mode. Also, we have an RO purification system at home for drinking water. Additionally, we started collecting wastewater that the system generated and
used it for mopping and cleaning our balcony.
Did it affect the quality of life?
It sure did. Our 11-year-old is witnessing the theory of saving water and electricity in practice at home.
Family support in the programme
Our son is not one to waste. So, when he caught sight of water wasted from the RO system, it was his idea to collect and use that water.
Tips for other residents to follow
Set your ACs to auto mode at 24/25 degrees. Don’t let the water run while brushing your teeth or while applying shampoo or shower gel. These go a long way in reducing consumption.
