Conserve not only money but also natural resources with the following Green Tips:

General awareness
- Create an awareness of the need for energy conservation with children.
- Be aware of the need for energy conservation at home, the workplace, hotels, etc.

Warm water:
- The supply of warm water in bath and kitchen constitutes the second highest value in the energy consumption in a household; savings are possible with simple rules that do not limit comfort.
     - Take a shower, the hot water of a full bath is enough for three showers.
     - Use water saving showering heads, which reduces the warm
water and the energy consumption by 50 percent.
     - Do not run warm water unnecessarily.
     - If you have a heating boiler, shut off the hot water generation while taking leave.
     - Start the dishwasher only when it is completely filled, always use the economy program, which runs at 55°C which heats the water less and saves electricity.
     - Pay attention to the dishwasher's energy label. Devices with the efficiency class A, A+ or A++ use less water and electricity.
