Discover some of the solutions that can reduce
your bill and improve the comfort of your home.
THERMAL INSULATION
With the application of thermal insulation on facades and roofs, it is possible to reduce thermal losses by 50%, improving thermal comfort.
MORE EFFICIENT GLAZING
Efficient windows, due to their characteristics, contribute to increasing the thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings, allowing the reduction of energy consumption associated with the air conditioning of spaces by about 30%.
HEATING SYSTEMS
Space heating is responsible for about 19% of total energy consumption in a home, with biomass being the main source of energy used (67.1% of households).
COOLING SYSTEMS
A change of 1ºC in the operating temperature of an air conditioning system corresponds to a 7% saving in the energy consumption of this equipment.
SANITARY WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
The production of hot water for an average household (4 people) represents an average annual cost of €600 in natural gas. The installation of a solar thermal system (average cost of €2500) reduces energy needs by 50% to 70%, representing an average annual saving of €350 in natural gas.
RENEWABLE ENERGIES – SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
The installation of a photovoltaic kit for self-consumption, with an average annual energy bill of €720, can represent a reduction of €285/year in electricity costs.
RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMUNITIES
It is estimated that by 2050, 50% of European households will be energy producers and 37% will be involved in renewable energy communities.
APPLIANCES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT
By replacing a 10-year-old washing machine with an energy class A (former class A+++) washing machine, you can reduce your energy bill by around €21/year.
