About 55 percent of your energy consumption is for heating (that's more than half!). So there's a lot to be gained here. Hot water accounts for about 25 percent of your energy consumption. Appliances and lights in the home account for about 17 percent, and 3 percent of your energy consumption is for cooking.

There are all kinds of things you can do to save energy. Insulation is a very important one. Many houses already have double glazing and roof insulation, but the exterior walls and floor are often not yet insulated. So finish insulating your home, choosing high insulation values. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. You can also replace double glazing with HR++ or triple glazing. There are subsidies and loans to help with the costs.

Being smart with your heating also helps to reduce your energy consumption. Energy-efficient HR boilers have become standard. You can take the next step with a solar water heater or hybrid heat pump.
