Energy counselling - the way to save energy
Why should you save energy?
The sustainable use of resources of all kinds is becoming increasingly important as climate change progresses. This also includes the economical use of electrical and thermal energy, regardless of the energy source from which the resources originate.
Savings potential must also be utilised as part of the energy transition. In this way, every citizen contributes to climate protection and thus also to the energy transition with their personal consumption.
