How can employees save energy in their home office? This is the question addressed by the consumer advice center "Verbraucherzentrale Energieberatung". It points out that, according to estimates, electricity consumption can increase by around five percent due to regular use of the laptop, desk lamp and electric stove, among other things. This adds up to an extra cost of about 30 cents to 1 euro per day. Heating costs must also be added.
To save energy and thus costs, consumers should identify power guzzlers and replace them. Devices that are not being used should be switched off completely and not put into standby mode. This is because they also consume electricity in standby mode. In addition, the room temperature can be lowered. According to the consumer advice center, every degree less reduces heating energy consumption by six degrees.
In the long term, owners can also ensure low heating energy consumption with optimum insulation.
