Lighting
- Paint the walls and ceilings with light colours, which better reflect light, reducing the need for artificial lighting;
- Choose natural light;
- Do not leave lights on in rooms that are not being used and reduce decorative lighting;
- Install motion sensors in passageways;
- Choose LED lamps with a high energy rating, or compact fluorescent lamps, instead of incandescent or halogen lamps. A conventional 100 W lamp provides the same light as a 20 W low consumption lamp;
- For each LED lamp, savings amount to EUR 3/year per hour of daily use.
- Choose lamps that allow light intensity to be regulated to obtain savings during times when less light is required.
