World Energy Day is celebrated on 29 May, raising awareness of the importance of energy efficiency and renewable energy use.
At Enbiente, we believe every action counts. That is why we share 13 simple tips to help reduce consumption, save money and contribute to a more sustainable future.
13 tips to save energy every day
- Switch off equipment on stand-by, because it still consumes energy.
- Use the “eco” mode on your appliances whenever available.
- Avoid turning on several devices at the same time.
- Use natural light and reduce artificial lighting during the day.
- Close windows during the hottest hours to keep your home cooler for longer.
- Dry clothes in the sun and wind, avoiding the tumble dryer.
- Take the stairs instead of the lift: save energy and improve your health.
- Unplug chargers once your devices are fully charged.
- Replace old bulbs with LED, which consume up to 80% less energy.
- Choose double glazing when renovating windows or doors.
- Use the hob ring that matches the size of the pan.
- Defrost food naturally instead of using the microwave.
- Only run washing machines and dishwashers when full.
Put these practices into action. You will notice the difference in your electricity bill and ecological footprint.
The role of renewable energy
Beyond saving energy, it is essential to consider where the energy you consume comes from.
Renewable energies, such as solar, wind and hydro, are inexhaustible, clean and environmentally friendly, because they strongly reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
The word “renewable” reflects exactly what they are: energy that regenerates naturally, continuously and sustainably.
