Energy saving tips for tenants

♨️ Heating

• Lower your home temperature by 1-2 degrees. Every degree you lower can cut your heating costs by about 5%.
• Keep your bedroom cool. A cooler room helps you sleep better and saves energy.

💡 Electricity and lighting

• Change old light bulbs to LED bulbs. They use up to 80% less energy and last longer.
• Remember to turn off lights in rooms you’re not using.
• Completely turn off all devices when not in use. Devices in standby mode still use a lot of electricity.
• Unplug chargers from the wall when your devices are fully charged. They use energy even when not connected to a device.

🚿 Water usage

• Shorten your shower time. Even a few minutes less can save a lot of energy and water.
• Turn off the shower while soaping up or washing your hair. This greatly reduces water use.
• Avoid letting water run unnecessarily. Keep a pitcher of cold water in the fridge, so you don’t have to run the tap.

🆙 Other tips & tricks

• Use your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full, and choose energy-saving settings. This prevents wasting energy.
• Keep air vents clean and make sure air circulates well.
• Let natural light brighten your spaces for as long as possible during the day.
• Use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever you can. This reduces energy use and carbon emissions.

By making these small but important changes, you can lower your energy consumption and save money!
