If this century is that of comfort and well-being, it is also one of urgency, particularly in environmental matters. The worsening of the greenhouse effect pushes us to reconsider our daily habits. Because household consumption is not a drop of water: it represents 47% of the energy produced in France (2006). Detailed review on these economies that everyone can achieve.
In terms of heating, control, save it
Stop overheating: a living room at 19 ° C, room 16 ° C can already reduce average consumption of 7 %. Similarly, hot water should not exceed 60 ° C, may affect the longevity of a water heater.
In 2006, energy consumption in primary residences was divided as follows: 65% heating, 16% for specific electricity (mainly electrical), 12% for hot water and 7% for cooking. (key figures of the building, Centre for Studies and Economic Research on Energy - 2006 )
Regular maintenance of the boiler generates a saving of 8% to 12% of energy consumed.
After 20 years of loyal service, it is wise to opt for models condensing or low temperature can save up to 20% on your order (15% to 20% with a condensing model 12% to 15% with a low temperature model).
Several tricks can automatically manage climate variability, and therefore to optimize the role of heaters. Thermostatic valves for radiators, but also regulatory systems controlling the heating or timer, hours to suit people of a home, provide substantial reductions of at least 10%.
The thermal insulation should not be overlooked. The roof to the walls, through the floor and windows - preferably equipped with double glazing - the seal is guaranteeing savings in all parts of a home.
Naturally, when possible, heating Wood has an advantage: renewable energy for sustainable economies ...
specific Electricity: extra stubborn habits!
the hit parade of big consumers can find the refrigerator (1000 kWh per year), the freezer and lighting (500 kWh per year), before the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and equipment hi-fi. Some tips for using less electricity
• The first instinct is to move, acquisition, towards efficient appliances, indicated by the letter A on the new energy label. •
Lighting should be rethought, with the purchase of light bulbs. Five times less intensive, but a period eight times higher than the "classic", they divide by four spending lighting a home ... enough to justify their prices a little higher for purchase.
• Finally, we must remember that leaving appliances on standby consumption is a - totally unnecessary - 500 kWh per year.
The hot water, under the sun
CESI, individual solar water heaters, allows all occupants of a dwelling, across France, covering 50% to 70% of their needs hot water. Reliable, easy maintenance, this equipment shall in addition, tax credits, but also aid communities and organizations that promote specific installation (regions, departments, National Housing Agency ...)
associated with heating, sometimes enhanced with underfloor heating, solar system combined allows him to meet 25% to 60% of the needs for hot water and heating, depending on region and size of the facility.
