Energy efficiency (EE) and energy conservation (EC)  have different meanings but both the terms are connected to energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bulb_transform-1.jpg\" alt=\"Energy savings bulbs - tips\">EC means to do things that help us to use less energy and to keep stored energy by less losses. EE means to use technologies that perform the same function but consume less energy, or to apply measures or activities that will help you to use less energy. For example replacement of the bulbs with energy efficiency or replace your old windows frame and put the thermal insulation of your home.<br><br>There are two main type of energy efficiency measures: active and passive.<br>The active energy efficiency measures could be replacement of the heating boiler with a new energy efficiency once. Typical example of passive measures could be windows shadings, which prevent summer sunlight to go into your home and respectively it will reduce the cooling energy that your home needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2265321283577919\" data-ad-slot=\"9570131598\"><\/ins><br><script><br \/>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your body could be energy efficiency as well<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about how you use your own energy to move or play.<br>To be efficient you need to move in ways that don&#8217;t use more energy than necessary. Your body does it automatically. For example, when you fill tired after a long day of school or a park, you just walk. It is because your body keeps the rest of your energy and saves it until you have some eat and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficient Technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure data-spectra-id=\"spectra-8fd953b7-978c-487e-9e25-67ab25c9869b\" class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/efficienthome.jpg\" alt=\"Energy efficiency homes.

When your old appliances break, ask your parents to replace them with energy-efficient models that have a special ENERGY STAR\u00ae label. The energy star labels identify the energy efficiency class of the devices labelling them with the letters from A to G.

Remember it&#8217;s more energy efficiency if you open wide the windows (door) for a few minutes (1-2 minutes) than to keep them tighty opened for 10 minutes.<br><br>When you have any ideas how to be efficient and to save energy, or just want to tell the rest of the kids about your energy activities, please share with us.<br><br><em><strong>Inspect your home<\/strong><\/em><br>You can ask your parents what do they think about to inspect your home by energy audit.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By saving energy you are helping to save the environment and planet.
