Getting the public's attention Large energy consumers have much scope for reducing power usage. However, the necessary building improvements and facility upgrades are complex. The approach for families is much simpler, consisting of the use of power-saving light bulbs and appliances, especially large appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and electrical heaters. The govern-ment's Energy Label program and international Energy Star standard provide excellent guidance for purchasing decisions.
民意覺醒用電大戶節能空間大，但相對的建物改善及設備更新也頗費周章；一般家庭的節能手段就簡易多了，不外乎選用省能燈具和家電，尤其是大型家電如冷氣、冰箱、電暖氣等，政府近年推動的「節能標章」和「能源之星」便是很好的選購指標。
