A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE IN OUR HANDS - To Parent Directory

Climate changeDomestic household appliances sold in the EU carry a label gradingthem according to their energy efficiency, with the grades runningfrom A (high energy efficiency) to G (low efficiency). Choosinghigher energy efficient products saves unnecessary emissions andencourages enterprises to invest in research and development.We all try to optimise the temperature of our homes. In the winterwe turn up the heat and in summer the air conditioning. But byinstalling home insulation we can reduce this need as our homesbecome more resilient to outside temperatures. Homes are oftenoverheated - a simple change like turning down the thermostat by1°C could easily go unnoticed, yet have a great impact. Not onlydoes this cut down in energy use but it can also knock as much as10% off your heating bill. We can achieve substantial reductionsby making clever choices.“Unplug,turn off,turn down ” 021
