WORKING AND LEARNING FROM HOME IN COVID PERIOD 19 CHARGES ELECTRICITY ENERGY COST INCREASED

During the Covid 19 pandemic, all people were encouraged to remain at home, but must remain productive. All work must be done from home.

This can be done by conducting an internal energy audit in each household and planning for the correct electricity installation. The audit can be done by installing control devices, signs and others.

Energy Audit is a technique used to calculate the amount of energy consumption in buildings and recognize ways to save it. The purpose of conducting energy audits on households is to find out the electricity consumption used by these households during and before work and learn from home. To optimize the use of electrical energy in households using control systems such as timer lamps, natural lighting, the use of LED lights, electrical installations with direct lighting in the work area, optimizing the use of household electronic equipment such as the use of air conditioners (air conditioners) with a minimum temperature of 250C, tools cook and so on.
