The tip on using off peak hours actually helps the inviorment here in Copenhagen. This is bc alot of our power comes from windmills and u cant store the energy from them. So on off peak hours a lot of their energy goes to waste where in the peak hours we have to power up the coal plants :)

it's not a matter of " cold air " escaping when opening your fridge. Having actual mass that can retain it's coldness ( actually resisting absorption of thermal energy ) is what helps the refrigerator be more efficient. I keep the freezer packed... but you should leave at least. 1/2 " gap around the edges to allow air to circulate and to allow proper defrost cycles. More thermal mass means you rely much less on having "cold" air in the fridge to maintain efficiency.

One thing that annoys me with dishwashers and resources is the attitude of owners. The actual thing is they say a dishwasher uses less water. However, the person saying that will leave the kitchen tap running while rinsing all their dishes and stacking them in the dishwasher. I can't see that saving water. No, I do not have a dishwasher (obviously I'm not in America) but I have lived in houses which have had one.

i think using diswasher machine is a waste of energy, most people in asian country washes dishes manually - using your hand and using organic washing dish soap and using loofah scrub or coconut husk i also think there many layers that we have to go through when talking about saving energy because often it tangle with other subjects like saving water. For example using low flow fauchet reduces the need to pump water thus reducing the need for electricity (pumping water from the home reservoir or home well). both saves water and electric. and your monthly bill. Designing natural flow of water using grabity reduces the need to pump using electricity, designing grey water to be reuse for plants watering also save water n pumping water just to water the plant .. i mean there are lotsof things that we all can improve

It's a trade off because using a dishwasher is much more efficient in terms of water usage. The average modern dishwasher only uses 3-5 gallons of water and most people use a lot more than that when handwashing, and you'd need to be handwashing in cold water to not have the addition of extra energy being used for heat.

FYI. We have a Samsung French door refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. It is only a couple of years old. It recently broke down and our repair man said he doesn’t recommend that brand with that style because he has seen a lot of breakdowns. It has something to do with the back getting too frozen and then a piece breaks and then it won’t keep cold. It was about a $400 repair. So just keep that in mind if you are shopping for a new frig.

Watering the roof with water during the summer for 30 seconds each half an hour reduced my cooling costs by 85%. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLmZeYfKdlqZY Here is another video of the same technique to trimm your cooling costs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKjUhHp5mNCsfs0 My electric bill is equal in spring or summer. There is no difference. It seems the AC units are not turned on during the summer. All the heat hitting the house is removed by small amount of waters. I only invested 60 US dollars on the system. Instantaneous results. We got summer temperatures of 40 C (104 F) every summer.
