Significant hike in global energy demand has laid extra pressure on energy generation plants and natural environment as well. Therefore, methods of reducing the global energy demand are being extensively explored worldwide. In this paper, we have discussed ways of reducing energy consumption in Residential sector. We have taken eight major appliances being used in homes and compared them on the basis of annual energy consumed and cost saving by taking suitable assumptions like running hours, seasons of operation, etc. Finally, Case study of a modern house in Aligarh district of UP is studied for analysing the percentage consumption of each appliance being discussed. The results show that appliances like light bulbs, ceiling fans and refrigerators have the highest potential of energy as well as cost saving by improving their efficiency. Further, by switching all the appliances from conventional to the most efficient models resulted in energy and cost saving of about 37% in the house taken for case study.

The transport sector is considered one of the sectors that cause serious environmental impacts and, being strongly associated to development, it is important to choose more energy efficient transport modes. With the growing environmental problems sustainability becomes essential in the transport sector by reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the atmosphere. Accordingly, through the case study of soybean transport from Sorriso, state of Mato Grosso, to Santos, state of Sao Paulo, this study aims to define which mode of transport, unimodal or multimodal, may provide greater efficiency in the use of energy from fossil source, in both direct and indirect ways. The method evaluates the energy consumption in the life cycle of transport vehicles, ie, consumption and supply of fuel and energy embedded in fabrication. The analysis verifies the efficiency of the multimodal transport.
