This concept, which is much more than simply reducing energy consumption, invites us to rethink our relationship with energy. The French government has set ambitious targets: to reduce our energy consumption by 10% by 2024 and by 40% by 2025. Sober energy use does not mean going back to the candle age, but consuming more intelligently and responsibly. Adopting energy sobriety is an action plan to reduce emissions and make better use of resources. ![energy efficiency](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/AdobeStock_744116734-1-1.jpeg) [![Version FR](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/france.svg)FR]({type=EXTERNAL,%20content_id=null,%20href=,%20href_with_scheme=}) ![flèche gauche](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/icon-long-arrow-left.svg) [News](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en) ![flèche droite](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/icon-right-blue.svg) [Energy efficiency](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en/tag/energy-efficiency) [Downloadable contents](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en/tag/downloadable-contents) Published on 21 January 2025 # WHITE BOOK - How to adopt energy sobriety? ##### In this article: - [ATMO](https://nexelec.eu/en/produit/atmo/) - [SENSE](https://nexelec.eu/en/produit/sense/) ## Simple gestures for significant savings Saving energy involves simple everyday gestures. For example, setting the heating to 19°C in living rooms can reduce energy consumption by 7% a year. Switching off appliances on standby can save up to 10% of electricity. Consuming more responsibly by avoiding peak times, between 8am and 1pm and 6pm and 8pm, also helps to reduce gas and electricity use and [manage energy consumption](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en) more effectively. These everyday actions are powerful levers for[ limiting emissions and protecting the environment.](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en)   [![White Book](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204111102166.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLHP9mAlWJdhiTDOFVBwctP39uAprCuB3M%2Frzs9Nh%2BZRhlkiCJD6Iz6OjrmHoQrR2hXB6p3RqZ4Jdx8gncazNyaGFgAR1NzMqe8CVT%2F08q%2BFqdZVwkIyvELeHslh2iaTIBWg1HEdosFCPmGXw8n1ziHN6M3Q%2FREmx3nr4dowvHYq0p2QtXEr%2FK5Ff%2BqD3BQUIkWzR0iGfo9Yv9M1QtuMm7%2FqND%2BjVq28sUDdd20B37aw3lArt2V4U7DN9o31K9%2BPCoyvHD5URdXF0IshrqGkzrMd56TJR4cIvcHCzUzIiQ8vnTPoTI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204111102166&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## The importance of indoor air quality Managing indoor air quality (IAQ) plays an essential role in energy efficiency. Optimum humidity levels ensure a comfortable temperature with less intense heating, thus limiting energy consumption.[ Indoor Air Quality sensors](https://nexelec.eu/en/temperature-and-air-quality-measurement/temperature-and-humidity-sensors/) measure crucial parameters such as humidity, temperature and CO2 concentration, enabling precise adjustment of heating and ventilation requirements. Adopting this type of equipment[ improves energy efficiency](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en) and helps to reduce carbon emissions in buildings.   [![White Book](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204111102166.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLHP9mAlWJdhiTDOFVBwctP39uAprCuB3M%2Frzs9Nh%2BZRhlkiCJD6Iz6OjrmHoQrR2hXB6p3RqZ4Jdx8gncazNyaGFgAR1NzMqe8CVT%2F08q%2BFqdZVwkIyvELeHslh2iaTIBWg1HEdosFCPmGXw8n1ziHN6M3Q%2FREmx3nr4dowvHYq0p2QtXEr%2FK5Ff%2BqD3BQUIkWzR0iGfo9Yv9M1QtuMm7%2FqND%2BjVq28sUDdd20B37aw3lArt2V4U7DN9o31K9%2BPCoyvHD5URdXF0IshrqGkzrMd56TJR4cIvcHCzUzIiQ8vnTPoTI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204111102166&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## Technologies for energy sobriety [Sensors](https://nexelec.eu/en/temperature-and-air-quality-measurement/temperature-and-humidity-sensors/) enable real-time monitoring of environmental parameters, facilitating precise and efficient energy management. These technologies enable heating, ventilation and lighting to be adjusted for optimum consumption. By adopting these systems, you can reduce the amount of electricity used and limit the environmental impact of buildings and businesses. By incorporating simple measures such as [optimising energy equipment](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en), businesses can make significant energy savings and reduce their carbon footprint.   [![White Book](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204111102166.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLHP9mAlWJdhiTDOFVBwctP39uAprCuB3M%2Frzs9Nh%2BZRhlkiCJD6Iz6OjrmHoQrR2hXB6p3RqZ4Jdx8gncazNyaGFgAR1NzMqe8CVT%2F08q%2BFqdZVwkIyvELeHslh2iaTIBWg1HEdosFCPmGXw8n1ziHN6M3Q%2FREmx3nr4dowvHYq0p2QtXEr%2FK5Ff%2BqD3BQUIkWzR0iGfo9Yv9M1QtuMm7%2FqND%2BjVq28sUDdd20B37aw3lArt2V4U7DN9o31K9%2BPCoyvHD5URdXF0IshrqGkzrMd56TJR4cIvcHCzUzIiQ8vnTPoTI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204111102166&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## Raising awareness and adopting new behaviors Energy management technologies play a vital role in the adoption of energy efficiency.[ Sensors](https://nexelec.eu/en/temperature-and-air-quality-measurement/temperature-and-humidity-sensors/) are used to monitor environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration in real time. These technologies offer effective solutions for continuously adjusting heating, ventilation and lighting according to actual needs, thereby[ limiting energy consumption](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en). These systems enable finer-grained energy management and help to reduce carbon emissions. Businesses and private individuals can therefore adopt eco-responsible behaviour and consume resources more sensibly.   [![White Book](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204111102166.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLHP9mAlWJdhiTDOFVBwctP39uAprCuB3M%2Frzs9Nh%2BZRhlkiCJD6Iz6OjrmHoQrR2hXB6p3RqZ4Jdx8gncazNyaGFgAR1NzMqe8CVT%2F08q%2BFqdZVwkIyvELeHslh2iaTIBWg1HEdosFCPmGXw8n1ziHN6M3Q%2FREmx3nr4dowvHYq0p2QtXEr%2FK5Ff%2BqD3BQUIkWzR0iGfo9Yv9M1QtuMm7%2FqND%2BjVq28sUDdd20B37aw3lArt2V4U7DN9o31K9%2BPCoyvHD5URdXF0IshrqGkzrMd56TJR4cIvcHCzUzIiQ8vnTPoTI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204111102166&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## Why energy sobriety is essential for the future Adopting energy sobriety is an essential step in limiting the use of natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In France, the introduction of policies to promote energy efficiency in buildings and businesses is an important part of the [energy transition](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en). By reducing energy consumption and optimising the use of equipment, we are taking concrete steps towards a more eco-responsible future.
