What does it conserve? How does it work? What resource does this waste? How does it create wastage?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to complete a worksheet related to environmental sustainability measures in plumbing studies, specifically about conservation and wastage. The user needs to identify how certain devices conserve resources and how they work, as well as what resources they waste and how wastage occurs.
Answer
Conserve water and energy by reducing flow and minimizing use. Wastage occurs from leaks and inefficient appliances.
To complete the worksheet:
-
Identify each item in the images (e.g., water-saving devices, inefficient appliances) using context clues from the course material.
-
What does it conserve?
- Water-saving devices conserve water.
- Energy-efficient appliances conserve energy.
-
How does it work?
- Water-saving devices reduce water flow or leakages.
- Energy-efficient appliances consume less electricity through innovative technology.
-
What resource does this waste?
- Leaky taps waste water.
- Older light bulbs waste energy.
-
How does it create wastage?
- Leaks cause continuous water flow.
- Older appliances use more power than necessary.
