How can we meet the new targets for reducing consumption?

Why is it essential to reduce consumption?

There are many reasons to reduce our consumption:

• Controlling energy costs: with prices on the rise, consuming less saves money for both individuals and businesses.
• Reducing our carbon footprint: 46% of the final energy consumed in France comes from the building sector. Better management of this energy is essential to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
• Improving living comfort: Reducing energy consumption also means optimizing the quality of your indoor environment, with pleasant temperatures and better air quality.

These advantages show that reducing energy consumption is not only good for the planet, but also for occupant comfort.

Innovation for energy efficiency

Technology plays a key role in the energy transition. At Nexelec, we design sensors capable of measuring environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity. This information enables optimized energy management in buildings.

For example, humidity levels have an influence on how people feel about heat. By measuring this parameter, our sensors can determine the ideal moment to switch on or adjust heating, thus limiting energy wastage.

Taking simple steps to reduce energy consumption

Reducing energy consumption doesn't just rely on technology. Simple gestures, applied on a daily basis, can have a significant impact:

• Turning off unnecessary lights: Sounds obvious, but it's a first step that everyone can take.
• Turn down the heating by 1 or 2 degrees: Each degree saved represents up to 7% off your energy bills.
• Use energy-saving appliances: Choose equipment with a low-energy label for your daily needs.

These small efforts can produce substantial savings and have a real ecological impact.

Changing habits through awareness-raising

To achieve long-term success, it is essential to raise awareness among all stakeholders:

In companies, it's essential to involve employees in the approach, train teams and modernize equipment to improve energy management.
And in the home, everyone can take action by adopting new habits such as switching off appliances on standby or optimizing the use of heating and air conditioning.
