Kitchen
-It should include the work triangle: sink, refrigerator, and stove
KEY TIP TO HAVING A GREEN KITCHEN
-The less you use, the more you'll save.
Energy Efficient Appliances (Ex: Ranges)
-Self Cleaning: More insulation offers higher efficiency. Selected ranges have speed-cleaning settings that use half the energy of normal cleaning cycles.
-Convection: The heated air in these ovens is continuously circulated, reducing required temperature and cooking times, and cutting energy use by about 20%.
Energy Saving Tips When Using Ranges: Use the right cookware, match the pan to the burner, start food on higher heat, keep it clean, and use residual heat when self-cleaning.
Using green appliances: Save on energy cost and bills.
