a well insulated hot water heating
boiler and domestic hot water tank
-
clean combustion and high energy
extraction
...
with proper heating
Additional energy can be saved by
considering the following measures
in addition to the above technical
improvements:
-
proper ventilation: briefly open
the windows

while turning off
thermostats or radiator valves

avoid excess space heating; strive
for a room temperature of 68º F
(20º C) since every 2º F (1º C) of
lower room temperature can save
up to 5% in heating costs.
