How to save energy at home
- Choose category A appliances:
The use of electrical appliances and electronic devices with the A ++ and A +++ labels implies the generation of a lower environmental impact in all senses, both in terms of consumption of resources and the emission of polluting substances.
- Turn off the lights whenever you can to take advantage of natural light.
Sunlight helps us achieve greater productivity and comfort by providing visual and mental stimulation. In addition, natural light will help us save because keeping the lights off during the day uses less electricity. We will also help reduce the environmental impact.
- Use energy saving light bulbs.
These bulbs have a much lower energy consumption than traditional bulbs. Between 50 and 80%. In addition, they are profitable in the medium-long term because, although they are more expensive than traditional ones, they have a much longer useful life.
- Avoid hand scrubbing in hot water.
If you avoid washing dishes by hand with hot water, you will consume 60% more water and gas than if you washed them with the dishwasher or with cold water. If you still prefer to do it with hot water, fill the sink to rinse the dishes and avoid leaving the tap running.
