Interesting to see it really seems like everyone across the board used less and less energy.

What did you all change? Any specific tools or tricks?

Personally I didn’t even change my heating level but just used the timers a lot more with sharper cutoffs. And I did use smart plugs between my media appliances and my pc to make sure they are off when I leave the house, as well as being less casual about turning off the lights in rooms that I’m not in. Compared to 2019 (so before more WFH) that’s like a 20% savings on gas, and 15% on electricity for me.

Well, that worked out for you! I had a bill of 250 euro a month, and now they lowered it to 50 euro a month. I have an automated system. This was the first winter that all the rooms warmed to 19 degrees (except the bathrooms). Did not really notice it. Especially since at my work they also lowered it to 19 degrees.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I did too. Good for you!
