What factors determine the consumption of household appliances and how much does a Sunday morning cost?
Which of your appliances costs you the most, how to calculate the consumption based on wattage, and how to read and use energy labels.
What we can do immediately - simple measures without changing the appliances, and dealing with common appliances - refrigerator, laundry, computer.
Going on to build new relationships with our appliances - cooking and saving.
What we need to know about light bulbs to choose them - wattage, brightness, color temperature, color rendering index, ripple factor. And luminous efficacy!
Need to choose? What bulb types are most common, and how they differ - incandescent, fluorescent, LED.
Now ready for the tips - how to make lighting more efficient.
Appliances and lighting are measures at hand, but most of the potential is not there. We need to find out what other major items are, and how much they cost. Providing microclimate is one of the most significant energy uses, and what are the others? We need an energy balance. How to make it?
How to read an energy bill? What are its usual parts, and what to pay attention to?
Tariffs and tariff plans - fixed and variable rates, off-peak tariffs and others. Are you sure you got the best one suiting your consumption pattern?
Now turn your attention to the energy contract to find out what you are paying for, and why, and whether there are alternatives that could help optimize the payments.
How does a house use (and lose) energy? By understanding this, we tackle real problems and can provide comfort while reducing bills.
We look at different ways of heating a house and see how and where we typically lose heat. Then we know how to help.
Learn about passive measures for heating and cooling and looking at traditional dwellings of different peoples and the materials used.
Five simple NEAH tips to retain and save heat (and money).
But once you are ready for more complicated and expensive solutions, as you understand the effect - and we offer you them.
Passive, traditional and simple solutions for cooling, to start with.
Ready for a more in-depth list of measures? And how about calculating the cost of cooling?
Ventilation is not only about cooling, but about our demand for fresh air. And there are also passive methods!
Does an air fan help? What is a recuperator? And collect all the tips in one list.
Why does saving water help save energy? And NEAH tips for dealing with water-using appliances in the home.
Outdoor water usage also needs to be optimized, and even more significant is hot water usage.
Why is the support of family members, neighbors, colleagues, and other people around us not only pleasant, but really helpful in saving energy, money, and becoming greener? And how can we get it and make these practices fun?
Digital technologies make our efforts easier and more effective. From sensors to AI-driven software, what smart helpers can we use to manage the energy we use?
