Sakae Ward Power Saving Challenge Seven

Power saving is one of the measures we can take to combat global warming.
When cooling and heating using electricity, the energy saving effect by adjusting the room temperature setting is higher in winter than in summer.
Lowering the room temperature setting when using heating equipment in winter will not only reduce CO2 emissions, but also effectively save electricity. Why don't you work together to save electricity that can be done at home?

For two months from December 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024, Touch-kun goods will be presented to families who have worked on more than seven power saving challenge items listed on the leaflet!
※You will receive one of them.

1 Mini blanket (100 households by lottery) (W650mm x H480mm)

2 Cooled temperature bag (100 households by lottery) (W400mm x H300mm x D150mm)

In addition, those who are out of the lottery will receive a "mini towel" (W200mm x H200mm).

Households residing in Sakae Ward (excluding non-residential locations such as warehouses)
※You can apply for a gift only once per household.

At Sakae Ward Power Saving Challenge Seven, we set energy-saving challenge items based on the concept of "easy to do at home" such as lowering the set temperature of heating equipment. By all means, please take a look at the leaflet and enjoy the power saving items that can be easily done at home.

Leaflets are also distributed at ward offices and public facilities in the ward.

• If you stay in the same room for a long time, you will feel colder or warmer than it is actually. In general, it feels cold when the humidity is low and warm when it is high. Place a thermometer and hygrometer to "visualize" the indoor environment, refrain from using wasteful heating, and conversely, be careful of poor physical condition due to cooling.

• Use of insulation sheets for windows
• In winter, about 50% of the warm air of the whole house flows out of windows. Use heat insulation sheets or thick curtains to keep heat from the window.

• Effectively utilize hot-water bags, long-haired slippers, cushions, etc.

• The humidification effect of steam from the pot increases the perceived temperature further.
  Generally, when the humidity increases, the perceived temperature rises, so by placing a pot filled with hot water as well as a pot or placing a kettle on a stove to boil the hot water, even if it is suppressed, it will be less likely to feel cold.
• We also focus on ingredients that warm the body, such as seasonal winter, root vegetables, and ginger.
  Winter seasonal ingredients, root vegetables, especially ginger, etc., have the effect of warming the body from the inside.
  By choosing ingredients, locally grown and consumed can also reduce CO2 emissions related to distribution.
  In addition, it is important not to waste food, such as making the surplus ingredients in the refrigerator a pot.
