The Upper Austria Regional Energy Agency presented their energy-saving tips for households, companies, and municipalities to the European Commission. By adopting these, energy consumers can dramatically lower their bills, as well as contribute to a reduction in demand for fossil fuels. After careful consideration, here are the most effective energy-saving tips, as calculated by the agency.
There are so many simple ways households can reduce their energy use. Did you know that reducing the ambient temperature by 1ºC can save 6% of energy? Or that by driving 100 km/h instead of 130, you can save 25% on fuel? Not only that, but simple changes like installing thermostatic valves, ventilating correctly, and unplugging devices add up to save several hundred euros per year. How much could you save at home?
