Saving energy is actually a very simple thing that is also environmentally friendly and saves money. Everyone can save energy, anytime, anywhere! Here are a few good tips and tricks:
Energy class A washing machine
General Tips
- No air conditioning
- Proper ventilation: Airing 3-5 times a day
- Switch off the heating during ventilation
- Close curtains, roller shutters and window shutters at night, as they reduce rapid heat loss and keep out cold and draughts.
Mobile
- Turn off the cell phone at night
- Better to send an SMS than make a phone call
- Avoid using the phone in vehicles, as the mobile phone has to constantly search for a new antenna while driving and emits particularly strong radiation
- When the cell phone is fully charged, unplug the charger
Water
- Don’t leave the tap running all the time while brushing your teeth
- Showering instead of bathing reduces hot water consumption
- Attach economy showers to the washbasin and the shower head
- Turn the faucet off well so it doesn’t drip
- Use the toilet flush stop device
Electrical appliances
- The simplest: switch off the light when you leave the room
- Use energy saving lamps
- Do not leave electrical devices in standby mode, but switch them off completely
a power strip that can be switched off can help out if it is too cumbersome to unplug it every time - Timers for lights in the corridor and basement
- Notebook instead of PC
- Flat screen TV
- Household appliances with energy label A, A++
Washing and drying
- Let the laundry dry in the sun and do not put it in the tumble dryer
- Wash boiled laundry at 60° instead of 90°
- Only turn on the washing machine and dishwasher when they are full
Traffic
- Ride a bike or walk more often
- Use the bus and tram instead of the car
- Going on holiday by train and not by plane
