Saving energy in your home
When we look at energy use on a national scale the energy savings are large.
Some heating and lighting facts are: -
If all UK households replaced one ordinary bulb with an energy
efficient one, we would save enough money to pay around 75,000 family
fuel bills for a year.
If everyone in the UK turned off appliances instead of using standby, we could save enough energy to power 2.7 million homes for a year.
If we all turned down the thermostat by 1°C, we could save enough energy to heat 1.7 million households for a year.
If everyone in the UK upgraded their appliances to Energy Saving Recommended models, enough energy would be saved to run all UK street lighting for over 6 years.
If we turned off lights when not needed, we could save enough money to pay the wages of 10,000 new nurses.
No that is a lot of energy to be saved!
