Temperature control

• Avoiding energy-intensive appliances such as electric heaters lowers energy consumption and reduces CO₂ emissions.

• Carpets can be used to minimise energy consumption for heating: They keep the heat in the room.

• Draught excluders reduce heat loss and thus lower heating costs.

• Sealed doors and windows with curtains or draught excluders reduce the consumption of heating energy and keep the room temperature stable.

• If radiators are free-standing, the heat can circulate in the room. This in turn reduces the amount of heating required.

• The room temperature for office, test or storage rooms can be checked on a regular basis, for example by sustainability officers, to determine the maximum or minimum level required. The energy consumption can then be adjusted to requirements.
