Reducing your daily energy consumption, while acting for the planet and your budget : it's simpler than it seems. A few reflexes are enough to make a difference.
Simple actions to adopt every day :
Make the most of natural light : Let in daylight — free, more pleasant and healthier for your eyes.
Switch off when leaving : Turn off the lights when leaving a room or heading out.
Unplug rather than leaving on standby : Unplug or switch off your devices rather than leaving them on standby. And remember to remove chargers from the socket once the battery is full.
Choose LED bulbs : Opt for LED bulbs, far less energy-hungry than halogen lamps.
Descale to heat better : Descale your appliances regularly to limit heating time.
Just what you need : In the kettle, heat only the amount of water you need.
A lid is enough : Place a lid on your saucepans : water heats faster, and you save energy.
Take advantage of residual heat : Switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking : residual heat finishes the job, without consuming.
Maintain your freezer : Set your thermostat correctly and defrost your freezer regularly.
