World Energy Efficiency Day

March 5 is World Energy Efficiency Day, in order to reflect and raise awareness of the importance of the rational use of energy for one's own good.

This day is a good opportunity to raise awareness and sensitize citizens and energy consuming companies of their key role in achieving a clean, distributed and democratic energy model. In the face of the declared climate emergency, we must position ourselves in favor of an energy transition. To achieve this goal, the participation and co-responsibility of society is essential.

We waste energy and the vast majority of the time we do it unconsciously. Together we must adopt more responsible consumption habits and use measures to prevent the misuse of light. There are many tips on how to be more careful with our consumption, such as:

• Take advantage of the hours of natural light for our tasks that require more lighting.
• Turn off lights and electrical devices when not in use. Another way to contribute to energy efficiency is by using LEDs instead of conventional lamps or light bulbs. In fact, this alternative can generate energy savings of up to 80% compared to traditional lighting
• Replace old appliances with more efficient ones, which consume less energy.
• When it comes to mobility, prioritizing public transportation or cycling is the most efficient option. But there are some driving habits that can contribute to energy efficiency

In addition to the environmental benefits, these actions lead to economic savings
