How can I reduce my energy usage?
Reducing your energy usage in your apartment helps supports more sustainable living.
Appliances
- Switch off standby: Turn off TVs, chargers, and other devices at the socket when not in use.
- Air-dry when possible: Reduce reliance on tumble-drying.
Lighting
- Use natural light: Keep blinds open during the day.
- Switch off lights: Don’t leave lights on in unused rooms.
Everyday habits
- Close doors and windows: Retain heat in winter, or keep blinds closed during hot summer days to stay cool.
- Unplug small appliances: Kettles, toasters, and hairdryers can draw power if left plugged in.
- Mind water usage: Shorter showers and turning off taps while brushing teeth save both water and energy.
