What makes up your home’s energy consumption?

Your home’s energy consumption is determined by several factors, and understanding how to use them efficiently can help you to plan your consumption more wisely and reduce bills. Most often, the majority of energy is consumed by:

  • Heating and cooling – consume energy for heating or cooling rooms and for preparing hot water.
  • Electrical devices – consume energy to operate household devices such as a refrigerator, washing machine, television and computer.
  • Water – the use of hot and cold water for daily needs, such as showering, bathing and householding, affects both water and heat consumption.

Technical solutions of your home – such as windows, doors and insulation – also play a crucial role, as they affect how much energy is needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
