Approximately 90% of the environmental impact household appliances are provided at the stage of their use - when water consumption, electricity and chemicals. BSH engineers constantly search for new ideas to create technologies to increase not only the performance of household equipment, but also its energy efficiency. A vivid example of energy-efficient products - Siemens washing machines (Germany) with i-DOS technology, which allows you to automatically dose the detergents. Due to this, the annual flow rate of the washing powder is reduced by 32%, and water consumption is not more than 7062l per year (saved for 365 days of water is enough to fill 58 baths). In order to earn the title "Super Energy Efficiency" device, dishwashers must have power consumption indicators, superior to class A. Parameters. So, the Siemens models with Zeolite technology are equipped with a special reservoir that contains a mineral zeolite that can absorb moisture and produce thermal energy. When the washing ends, it dries the washed dishes, "pulling out" moisture from the inner space of the car. During the next loading of the dishes at the stage of washing the zeolite heats up, from gives back the assembled moisture and again it turns out to be ready for the drying cycle. At the same time, zeolite accelerates the latter and thus significantly reduces the execution time of the program. Thus, the dishwasher with Zeolite technology uses only 0.8 kW of 13 sets of dishes for one cycle - at least 20% less than its most economical predecessors of class A. Concern BSH sees its task not only to household The devices spent less natural resources. It also seeks that the production conditions at the factories are as environmentally friendly. B2009 A new project has been launched, the purpose of which is to reduce the consumption of resources that are not associated with the release of household appliances, by another 25% over the next 5 years.

Attention to the environment and the constant search for the most advanced solutions to reduce the level of energy consumption of household appliances, have always been the fundamental values of our company. At the following years, the leading manufacturers of home appliances are actively developing energy-saving models that quickly conquer the recognition of buyers. According to Indesit Company, the global markets clearly traces the trend of buying such products. Because of the tangible rise in price of fuel in all countries, most consumers seriously thought about the transition to energy-saving homework. According to the company, washing machines issued in 2008-2009, consume 44% less energy and 62% water than models made in the 90s. Xx in. It was also estimated that refrigerators produced now for 15 years of service will require electricity costs in the amount of 15.5 thousand rubles. (For comparison: instruments created in the 90s, "Pastrayat" 62 thousand rubles). These figures are an important factor that makes it possible to make a purchase decision. InDesit Company, following the strategy scheduled strategy, released the line of household appliances Prime, in the models of which the Smart technology was used. These devices can control the flow of water and detergents, which contributes to a tangible savings. For example, in washing machines, the sensor determines the weight of the linen and sets the optimal duration of the cycle and water consumption.

Important indicator
When buying goods, it is worth paying attention to the label of energy efficiency, which informs the consumer about how much one or another is economical. It provides for the scale of classes from A to G, where a is the highest, and G is the lowest class of energy efficiency. Such a label must be present on all refrigerators, washing, washing and drying and dishwashers, as well as wind wardrobes. According to BSH, household appliances consumes 40% of electricity consumed in the household. A42% of devices working in the dwellings of Russians older than 10 years. If you replace about 28 million old refrigerators with new economical (for example, such as Energy Efficiency Class A +), you can save up to 12.6 GW in a year, or about 10% of all electricity consumed by Russian households. Energy efficiency label is an important indicator. In all countries where it was introduced, consumers prefer to buy economical instruments. Only in EU countries, the proportion of highly efficient household appliances in 2006-2009. Grew from 13 to 35%.
What does energy efficiency label
1. Name or trademark of the manufacturer.
2. Title / model marking.
3. The class of energy efficiency of the device.
4. Electricity consumption kWh / washing cycle for the washing program "Cotton at 60 s".
5. The class of washing quality from A to G. characterizes the effectiveness of removal of linen contamination.
6. The class of spin quality from A to G. characterizes the efficiency of removing moisture from the linen during annealing.
7. Rated loading (cotton), kg.
8. Water consumption for the cycle for the washing program "Cotton at 60 s", l.
9. Optional parameter: Corrected sound power level, dBA, measured in accordance with the standard. It characterizes the noise published by the device in washing mode and spin.
In washing machines, the energy-saving effect is provided guisely due to the minimum water consumption. After all, it is precisely to heat the water where the main share of electricity is due. Electrolux washing machines can determine how much linen is inside, and pour only the required amount of water - no less. The energy-saving tank made of composite material Carboran, which is well kept warm, and due to this heating element less often turns on. Similar situation and dishwashers. Here, the intellectual systems of its feed and washing program helps to reduce water consumption: the machine itself determines the degree of contamination of the dishes and selects the optimal amount of water and the washing temperature. Sprinklers Flexi Spray due to double rotation increase the influence intensity on the dishes. This reduces water consumption, and therefore electricity. AUTO-OFF function is useful: after the washing cycle, the Electrolux dishwasher is completely disconnected from the network, while the aggregates most producers remain in STAND-BY mode and consume energy. This is especially important for those who include the device for the night. Bindless electricity savings provide modern engines. Many have accustomed to think that the engine power must be quite high (at least 1.8 kW). However, new technologies allow you to achieve high suction power already at 1.1-1.2 kW. This ELECTROLUX Vacuum Cleaner series is called Green.

Whirlpool presents consumers to their reflections on the future, which are embodied in the concept of Greenkitchen 2.0. It is an advanced kitchen system in which the waste water and heat from some electrical appliances come to others and are reused. For example, the system collects water, exposes it with antibacterial processing and accumulates in an external tank under the sink. This water will be used for washing dishes, which will save 7l on one dishwasher. From the same tank you can take purified water to water the plants, wash the floor IT.D. There will be more "smarter" in the evening Greenkitchentm 2.0: it will be possible to connect the tank to the refrigerator compressor to heat the water for use in the dishwasher. Thus, this device will carefully spend both water and electricity: water saving for one cycle will be 7l, and electricity is 20%, and without prejudice to the purity of the dishes.

Samsung Electronics has always occupied an active position in relation to the problems of ecology and energy efficiency. For two years, we have been implementing Planetfirst program, under which Samsung Electronics does not simply produce products that meet all environmental standards, but also minimizes harmful emissions, reduces energy consumption. We create our products, seeking to save natural resources. Therefore, most of the company's products relate to the highest energy efficiency classes - a + and a ++. It helps the owners of Samsung Electronics technology save up to 30% of electricity. For example, Samsung Eco Bubble washing machines thanks to innovative technologies guarantee high quality washing even in cold water (15 s), it is reduced and its time. Refrigerators from the SMART SPACE series refer to the energy efficiency classes a and a +. They are equipped with an intelligent inverter compressor and a new Smart Eco System system, which includes ten sensors that are constantly measuring temperature and humidity. Such a solution allows you to effectively manage the compressor, providing optimal cooling of products and energy savings. The absence of sharp drops of temperature and, accordingly, the reduction of energy consumption for the creation of the desired temperature mode make the compressor more wear-resistant.
