Interesting to see it really seems like everyone across the board used less and less energy.
What did you all change? Any specific tools or tricks?
Personally I didn’t even change my heating level but just used the timers a lot more with sharper cutoffs. And I did use smart plugs between my media appliances and my pc to make sure they are off when I leave the house, as well as being less casual about turning off the lights in rooms that I’m not in. Compared to 2019 (so before more WFH) that’s like a 20% savings on gas, and 15% on electricity for me.
I don’t have a smart thermostat or anything like that but I was really cautious with heating and energy consumption this winter. I just got a mail from Engie suggesting I adjust my my monthly provision from 307€ to… 10€.
I guess I managed to reduce my consumption…
Nice ! That is almost 0 kWh daily, isn’t it ?
I think it’s mostly Engie being assholes and covering their ass during the energy crisis this winter by overestimating the provision they charge.
I mean last summer I was still on a fixed plan with a provision of 90€. I left my thermostat between 18 and 20° and only in the evening but still…
