Energy-Saving Strategies for Households

The document presents conclusions and recommendations from a quantitative research study on energy consumption. The conclusions indicate that cooling energy consumption was the highest among appliances studied and there were significant differences among the three treatment groups analyzed. The researchers conclude visible effects could result from adopting energy saving strategies. Recommendations include utilizing efficient energy saving practices like turning devices off when not in use, regulating personal device use, and turning off unoccupied room lights. The researchers also recommend disseminating their strategies and referencing this paper in future research.

Conclusions

In totality, based on the tables in Chapter IV, it appears that cooling energy

consumption is the highest among the appliances/devices that may be the source of

excessive power consumption. Moreover, the tables also show that there is a significant

difference among the three treatments because the standard significant level – .05, is

greater than the significant level of the three treatments – 0.00. Thus, the researchers

accept the alternative hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis.

The researchers also conclude that there are and will be visible effects if people

use the energy-saving strategies and practices they propose. Thus, for the second life of

their research study, or in other words, their capstone, they will do their best to persuade

and convey to the residents of Integrated and Stranger Village their suggested energy

efficient strategies and practices in the best way possible.

Recommendations

The researchers recommend the residents of Integrated and stranger Village to

utilize efficient energy saving strategies and household practices to save power. A

"standby" mode is activated when your television, computer, microwave, and even

certain washing machines are not in use. To save electricity, disconnect them from the

outlet. You must also turn off the lights when not in use as it is also an efficient way in

saving energy.

The researchers recommend the students to regulate the use of their personal

devices. If students can keep their device turned off while at school or anywhere…
31

unnecessary, then they will end up saving energy since they won’t need to recharge as

often. 

The researchers recommend the schools to turn off the lights that are not being

used in classrooms and other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multi-

purpose rooms. Try organizing a student “light patrol” to check empty classrooms, labs,

and other spaces to make sure the lights are off when they're not in use.

The researchers recommend this paper to the future researchers because this paper

can be used to serve as a reference, since doing so will make it simpler and more

convenient for them to understand what to do and how to conduct a quantitative research

paper.

APPENDIX E

Culminating Activity

This activity revolves around the purpose of the research study which is

identifying the sources of excessive power consumption providing the students with an

opportunity to showcase their skills and ability in creating/formulating strategies that will

contribute in alleviating the degree of severity of the problem. By practically applying the

study, households of the research environment will be able to save a large portion of their

budget allocated to electric bills by making them wiser and more knowledgeable in

power consumption. 

In order for the households, learners or researchers who are interested in

developing skills and cognitive flexibility related to this activity, the team will willingly

publish the paper and share this knowledge with others

The significance in the attempts to measure data is to get reliable data with which

to answer the research questions and assess theories of change. Inaccurate measurements

can lead to unreliable data, from which it is difficult to draw valid conclusions.
