Save energy at work

We spend about one-third of our days at work. By changing your habits, you can help make your workplace a part of the solution to the difficult energy situation that we are currently facing.

Remember to switch off lights, screens, computers and other electronic devices before leaving a room or going home.

Save oil

You can save petrol and diesel by changing your driving habits ever so slightly. Reducing your speed slightly, checking your tyre pressure and driving without air conditioning are all ways to save fuel.

What can I do?

The Danish Energy Agency encourages all citizens to conserve energy. It is vital for the supply of energy that we all continue to conserve energy. Some ways you can conserve energy include:

  • Limiting your use of hot water
  • Saving electricity – turn off appliances when you are not using them and switch off lights when they aren’t needed
  • Use electricity when it’s cheapest – spread your energy usage throughout the day
  • Use the frying rack and the dishwasher

By conserving energy and using power when the prices are lower, we can benefit both the climate and our finances. You can find many more tips on how to save energy at SparEnergi.dk.
