Households continue to spend a significant portion of their budget on energy, and this spending could rise in the coming years as energy prices increase. While home renovations and more energy-efficient appliances (boilers, home appliances, lighting, etc.) help reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling, the number of electrical and electronic devices (smart devices, air conditioners, etc.) and the amount of digital usage are on the rise.
SIMPLE STEPS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE / WATCH OUT FOR HIDDEN ENERGY CONSUMPTION!
Standby mode on our devices: Turning off our devices completely instead of leaving them on standby can save up to 10%! Devices left connected 24/7 unnecessarily: For example, a router left on continuously consumes as much energy as a small refrigerator in a year! Undetected water leaks A dripping faucet wastes up to 5 liters per hour (or 120 liters per day); a leaky toilet flush wastes over 600 liters per day (equivalent to the daily water consumption of a family of four). Reducing your energy consumption doesn’t necessarily mean you have to overhaul everything right away. A few simple habits are all it takes to lower your bills!
