Why is it so important to reduce our daily energy use?

• we can save money
• reduce our dependency on imported fossil fuels
• reduce our carbon emissions to respect climate targets

There are actions which consumers, businesses and the public sector can do. For example, businesses can:

• reduce the temperature by 1°C of the thermostats
• install lighting motion sensors in infrequently used areas
• switch off equipment when not in use
• find the best electricity tariff
• monitor energy usage and make decisions based on that
