As individuals, we can educate our students and their family members. The easiest way to do that is to monitor their weekly spending for them. Together with their family members, the students have to monitor the consumption of electrical energy through three weeks. In the first week, they should spend electricity as they do everyday. During the second week they have the increase of spending of electrical energy. The third week is the saving energy week. They have to make a plan with their family members on how to save energy, for example, turning offthe lights in the empty rooms, turning offthe TV when there is no one watching it, etc.. Every week they have to note the data in kilowatts. When they acquire all the information and transform it into money they can see if it's worth saving electrical energy or not. They will see they don't have to give up the comforts of the modern life. The value of the project is in the fact that many households continue with the electrical energy saving. In fact, the number of the households is increasing.展开更多

It concludes that on-grid electricity price on the high side, compared to heat price, will lead power plants to produce more electricity but less heat, thus causing decrease of the plants' thermal eff iciency and harm to energy saving of the whole society.展开更多
