If citizens reduce the temperature in their homes by 1 degree, the European Union will save almost 7% of energy use for a year, says Ursula von der Leyen in her posts on Twitter, presenting part of the measures proposed by the Commission for the difficult upcoming winter.
Across the EU smart ways to save energy are being introduced.
Slightly higher temperatures for air conditioning, for example, bring impressive results.
Good that Member States like 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇸🇮 are including such measures in their plans.
Together, we save energy for a safe winter. pic.twitter.com/ZxEKP6z6Cd

“Reducing the temperature in the heating of a house by just 1 degree Celsius can save around 7% of energy over the course of a year,” writes the president of the Commission.
The @EU_Commission is saving energy too, under its Greening Strategy.
For example, we are switching off heating and cooling in most buildings 1 hour earlier than before, saving 3% of our annual energy use.
We also close some buildings for the summer and facilitate remote working. pic.twitter.com/tofUCQc4DT

She adds that she is “thrilled to see that many EU Member States are introducing measures to optimize heating. This will help us to reach the common target of 15% together”.
