By taking small steps at home, you can save energy and money and help protect the climate by reducing emissions. Households produce roughly a quarter of all direct CO2 emissions that occur in the EU today.
Save electricity
- Replace conventional or halogen bulbs with more energy efficient ones. One LED bulb can save you more than €100 in electricity costs over its lifetime of around 20 years.
- Turn off devices. Internet-connected devices such as smart TVs, printers, and game consoles from 2016 or earlier can use up to 80 watts of electricity in standby mode. You can use one extension cord with multiple outlets to easily turn them all off.
- Ask your energy supplier to install a smart meter. Smart metering systems for gas and electricity can save you 3 % of your energy consumption.
- Bet on green energy. Most energy suppliers offer "green" electricity tariffs that support the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. If your home has its own roof, consider installing solar panels to generate some of your electricity.
