Appliance power consumption rapidly rising EU energy saving plan difficult

July 16th news, according to the latest research report shows that the plan has little restrain European energy consumption among European countries, rapid economic growth, coupled with the purchase of home appliances products enthusiasm improve, is mainly caused by the high.

According to vnunet reports, this report from the joint research center of JRC, the mechanism for the EU scientific service center, the results show that the average annual growth rate, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are maintained at a level of 10%, which will be 1999 to 2004 between the results of energy consumed. According to statistics, in 2004 the EU countries average household electricity consumption of 4098 kwh, while JRC said that if the use of the true meaning of energy-saving electrical equipment, the figure can be reduced by as much as 20%. On the other hand, the EU survey shows that while the popularity of high energy efficient appliances, but non energy-saving products before most of the family did not abandon, but began a two pronged approach, then greater waste of energy.

JRC said, lights and other lighting equipment energy consumption problem is the most serious, according to statistics on the lighting equipment, lighting consumes of electricity or other energy, there are 95% ways to be hot waste, only the remaining 5% converted into light energy needs of the people. According to the report, the use of light-emitting diodes LED and energy-saving bulbs will be a good solution to this problem, and called on users to quickly transition to the home lighting equipment to energy-saving systems.
