Saving Energy At Home

A presentation by Ole, Lars, Stefan, Firas, Thiemo and Rafael

Structure A normal course of daily life (Video) What did Ole do right or wrong? Energetic characteristics of Ole´s house The optimal house Materials How can I save energy at home?

Movie

What did Ole do right or wrong? Right:

Started dishwasher as it was full! Used power button on plug strip Used water-saving button of the toilet Took a shower, not a bath

Wrong Used laundry dryer => Better use laundry

rack

Energetic characteristics of Ole´s house Devices like the fridge or the dish

washer with Energy Classification A => Good

Double glazing => Good Good insulation Gas heating => Good but not perfect

Passive House heat insulation, sealed ducts, efficient

windows, tight construction keep house warm in winter, cool in the summer

fresh air ventilation carry out old air and moisture → guarantee an perfect climate

air filter improves circulated air modern installed heating and cooling

equipment reduces heating costs solar panels change sunpower to energy

(expensive, paid back after 15 years)

The optimal houseThe optimal house has: Perfect insulation Triple glazing in the windows Devices with energy classification A Geothermal heating Solar panels

Of course you can bring your house up to date by installing these devices

Materials

How can I save energy in my daily routine? Calibrate waterboiler not too hot, already one

degree makes a huge difference in a year! Always fill the dishwasher or washing machine up

to the top! Turn off your electronic devices like

computer/monitor/DVD-player/.., not only standby! Use compact fluorescent bulbs to light your home! Use the shower instead of a bath! Look out for products with the „Energy Star“,

there are strict guide lines for getting this as a company!
