Abstract

The electrical energy is very necessary to address all household needs and commercial needs. This energy is used all over the world for almost all purposes. It is diminished day by day as fossil fuels are used for energy production. As natural resources are limited and getting exhausted, there is every need to conserve energy. It even involves in rising up pollution and increasing the global temperature by emitting greenhouse gases. It shows severe impact of climate. This paper explains the term energy conservation, methods to conserve energy, use of energy efficient devices and also how energy efficient devices are chosen for various purposes. This paper even focuses on net zero energy buildings and explains a methodology for arranging lights and blind control for windows in net zero buildings to conserve energy.
