Very few people know what consumes each year the building where they live . Yet the calculation of energy consumption is simple.
Just add up all the fuel and convert the quantities in thermal kilowatt-hour, taking into account that every liter of diesel equivalent to about 12 KW / h, while a cubic meter of methane is 10 KW / h. Calculated the total consumption, the result is divided by the area inhabits the bile, resulting in data of "consumption" actual per square meter per year expressed in KW / h (M2A).
may be instructive to compare them with friends, or compare them to the maximum power set by German law or the requirements of "ClimateHouse of the Province of Bolzano. Surprising but good to know that while the average consumption in Italy amounted about 150-200 kW / h (M2A), Germany requires consumption of less than 70 KW / h (M2A) and the Energy Efficiency Best of Bolzano, stood at 30 KW / h (M2A). Save over 70% of energy consumption is possible and necessary for our homes, through: the improvement of thermal insulation, replacing windows, the use of more efficient burners, the use of solar panels for ' hot water, etc.. Would benefit the environment, our pockets, the national economy, individuals and society should
a battle for the environment and the civilization of the country to win the economic interests of a few companies who make huge profits: for example when the price of unleaded gas at the pump costs 6 times the cost deII'estrazione. But courageous political decisions are necessary: \u200b\u200ba difference in fuel savings can be taxed.
must begin speaking in short, as most economists are now aware, a new unit of measurement for the protection of the environment: the energy savings, significantly called " Negawatt .
