10 tips to save energy

-

  • Take shorter and colder showers (if you reduce your shower time with hot water from 15 to 5 minutes, you can save 5.000 DKK/year). 
  • Avoid using the dryer for clothes (save 2.500 DKK/year). 
  • Wash your clothes less often at a lower temperature (30 degrees) (your washing machine represents 23% of your energy consumption). 
  • If you have a variable energy contract, then monitor when the energy is the cheapest to use. 
  • Completely switch off devices you don’t use (leaving them on standby represents 10 to 15% of your energy consumption) (save 1.000 DKK/year). 
  • Get rid of old appliances (fridge, dishwasher, etc.) that consume a lot of energy. 
  • Keep the heat radiator on maximum 3 (or 2 if you can tolerate the cold). 
  • Drive with other people – have the car full each time you use it. 
  • Drive slower. 
  • Pump your tires.
