Heat insulation
2009. 03. 06.
Did you know that an average residential apartment block can save HUF 160,000 a year with appropriate insulation?
Did you know that ...
- It costs HUF 40,000 for households a year to heat the street?
- The unwanted ventilation of draughty homes can add up to 30% to the heating bill?
- An average residential apartment block can save HUF 160,000 a year with appropriate insulation?
- Hungary uses 70 percent more energy for heating offices, schools and homes than the 15 older EU members?
- A household spends 60-70% of its total energy costs on heating, 10-15% on hot water, 8-12% on cooling, 10% on operating electric appliances and 2% on lighting?
Living room
- 6% of heating costs can be saved if we reduce the temperature by 1°C, but if we only heat our home to 20 °C instead of 25 °C we can slash 30% off our heating costs.
- You can improve the efficiency of energy use by up to 30% if you replace your traditional boiler with a newer one.
- Appropriate maintenance can result in a 5-10% improvement in the efficiency of the boiler.
- If you don’t leave your electric appliances on standby and instead use the main "on/off" buttons you can decrease your household’s energy consumption significantly. An average TV set uses 40 percent of its energy consumption when nobody is even watching.
- If you have your TV set on only when you actually watch it, and you don’t leave it "standby”, you can save the price of a cinema ticket each month.
Walls, doors and windows
- You can save up to 15-20% of heating energy by insulating your doors and windows.
- A double-glazed window can reduce heat loss by up to 30-40%.
- Significant energy can be saved (up to 15-25%) by insulating buildings externally.
- 15 cm fibreglass insulation can help walls reduce heat loss fourfold.
Lighting
- If you replace your traditional bulbs with energy efficient ones you can save as much energy in one year as is required to light the bulbs for 4 years.
- If you use energy efficient bulbs instead of traditional ones you can save up to HUF 15,000 during the lifetime of the bulb.
Office
- If you always turn off your computer after work, the power consumed is the same as if you only use it for two months a year.
- By using energy efficient monitors we can save up to 90% of costs.
- If you unplug your mobile phone charger after charging you can save enough energy in a year to watch TV for 8 days.
