Saving energy

  • Cut the power at the socket when you do not use electrical appliances; do not leave appliances on stand-by
  • Take short showers instead of long hot baths (maybe install a water-saving shower head)
  • Wash clothes at lower temperatures (use the dryer only in bad weather)
  • Reduce the heating temperature in your home by one degree (will hardly be noticed but saves a lot)

Enjoy Erlangen!
