Solution

The consumption of energy for domestic purposes heavily depends upon electricity. A new and advanced lighting technology is Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) which is a more efficient alternative to domestic energy consumption. According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) consume 80% less power as compared to ordinary bulbs. Solar energy could also be generated for domestic use. Biogas can be used for cooking.
