For every degree that you raise the air conditioner's thermostat, you can have a savings of two percent on the electric bill. A general method to figure out energy saved per degree is to know that every degree above 70 will increases the energy cost by 7 percent to 10 percent.

How do you conserve energy when using the air conditioner?
Keep windows and doors firmly closed, look into better insulation for your home as well to keep in coolness, this way the air conditioner can be on less due to not having to replenish coolness as much.
How can electrical energy be saved by using double pane window?
Double glazing means the window is a better insulator. Winters, less heat will escape, so you need spend less energy on heating. Summers, less heat will get in so you don't need to run the A/C that much.
How does an air conditioner make air colder?
The answer to your question is found in a science called Thermodynamics. If you have a chance to find a textbook, it is a fascinating science which studies the transfer of energy from one form to another. Hot air has a higher energy content then cool air. The air conditioner passes air over coils using convection to suck energy out of the air and into the much cooler coils. Because air coming out of the air conditioner has less energy, it has a lower temperature than the air that goes into the air conditioner. The coils are made cool by a chemical called refrigerant, which has special properties. The coils are made cold by the refrigerant when the refrigerant expands from a highly compressed state to a low compression state. The difference between these two states is one of low energy to high energy; the energy must come from somewhere, so the refrigerant sucks the energy from the coils, which in turn suck the energy from the air, so it forms a chain as such: decompressed refrigerant (takes energy from coils). The decompressed refrigerant must be compressed again, so energy is used to compress the refrigerant again so that the process can begin again. This is why every air conditioner has a compressor. The compressor uses energy from the electrical outlet to compress the air. In this way, we use energy from the electrical outlet to take energy from the air over and over and over again until the air is a temperature that you like. Air conditioners do not however make allair cooler, They make air in one area cooler at the expense of adding heat to another area. This heat originates as the power put into the compressor. This is exactly the same way that a refrigerator makes its interior cold while making the room it is in warmer.

How can you monitor your energy consumption?
By using an energy monitor.

lodfks
Can using the central air conditioner in 30 degree weATHER make it freeze up?
Yes if it does not have a low ambient kit on it
Does using conditioner leave your hair with fewer knots than not using conditioner?
Definitely.
How do you write a sentence using as a result?
As a result of your energy-saving efforts, the company saved $8,000 in utility costs.
Do you have to blow dry you hair after using a conditioner?
no but it may depend on the conditioner

How is energy saved by recycling?
It saves energy because it reuses its self so your not adding anything extra, so basically its a process of using the same amount of material at the sametime
How does using the internet save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
using the internet does not save energy but by using well constructed websites that help reduce energy is your best shot at success. try using blackle.com. because it has a black background instead of white or any other color it already is forced to use less energy. it tells you at the bottom how many watts have been saved.
Does using conditioner leave your hair with fewer knots than no using conditioner?
no. conditioner just makes your hair soft:) Actually conditioner acts as a detangler and moisturizer as well. If the hair is knotting excessively however, it is usually a sign that a haircut is needed.
When can you use rotary when washing hair?
when using conditioner
Does using conditioner affect your hair growth?
No, conditioner will only soften, moisturize, and detangle the hair. It will not effect the growth.
