German Energy

On 20 September, the day of the bath takes place nationwide. A good reason to rethink his personal water and CO2 emissions. Furstenwalde, September 18, 2008 – on September 20, the day of the bath takes place nationwide. A good reason to rethink his personal water and CO2 emissions. Because what many people don’t know: not cars, but heating and hot water are responsible for the bulk of CO2 emissions.

So consumed an average German household in this country every year 160,000 liters of water and produces thus as much of the greenhouse gas CO2, that thus three Olympic swimming pool can be filled, namely 13.3 metric tons. Also increasing water – and energy prices the budget burden enormously. It is determined to be so at the time. Often with just a few hand movements in own household saves a lot of energy, and at the same time relieving the environment. Anyway, the decision against a bathroom with tub and a refreshing shower saves water and energy. Most effectively reduce the consumption but If saving showers are used.

Further savings are effortlessly through the quick installation of a shower stops possible, which cuts off the water supply when soaping and subsequently releases without having the temperature needs to be newly regulated. At the sink, it saves easily with so called Perl spotlights, which are available in hardware stores or through online stores such as and add air to the water jet. So this remains usual strong although reduced by half the amount of water flowing through. The energy-saving measures in the bathroom are complemented by a cistern with toilet water stop. Sometimes here up to 50 litres of valuable drinking water by the flushing noise. Credit: Steffan Lehnhoff-2011. Important is also the regular maintenance of the faucets.
