With temperatures starting to drop, many of us have restarted our radiators.
For you who may work outdoors, there's nothing like a little warmth to recover from a day of hard work.
Heating well is important, but how can you combine comfort and budget, between housing that may not be very well insulated and increases in the price of energy?
We give you, through this first environmental flash of the season, some tips.
HOW TO REHEAT PROPERLY?
Warm up properly
First of all, to stay warm outdoors, it is crucial to wear several insulating layers of clothing. You should also prioritize materials such as wool which hold heat well.
Also, accessories such as gloves, hats and scarves are very useful to maintain the body heat during this winter period for people working outdoors. In addition to clothing, hot drinks and physical activity also help keep the body warm.
Keep your house warm
During this period, it is at home that good habits will have the most impact if we want to consume eco-friendly and avoid overconsuming. The main action to take to allow the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is to program your heating. Ensure that it does not run unnecessarily in order to limit its impact on the environment.
In addition, you must maintain your thermostat at 19°C and ensure that you have a good thermal insulation to avoid heat loss, but to be able to maintain a correct temperature in the house. To reduce your impact on the environment and heat yourself correctly, it is just as crucial to put in place everything necessary to keep the heat created and not leave your heating constantly on.
Reminder of tips:
· Program your heating
· Set the temperature at 19° when you are at home
· Close unheated rooms
· Maintain your heating system
All these precautions with a single goal, that of consuming less while heating properly. Overconsumption of energy and the emission of greenhouse gases have numerous harmful effects onenvironment and are responsible for several meteorological disasters.
These are the main causes of melting glaciers and climate change. They are also responsible for the depletion of natural resources through overexploitation of these resources in order to generate energy.
ABALONE ACTIONS TO REDUCE ITS CONSUMPTION
Abalone, in addition to being a tribe attached to its values and the well-being of its employees, is also very attached to the environmental situation. The Group believes that it is the duty of all of us to act at our level for the good of the environment. It is thanks to these convictions that the group sees itself as CSR labeled back in January 2023.
To combat the effects of overconsumption of energy and heat properly the company has premises with external thermal insulation. They are also equipped with a double glazed wall with a through slab which allows heat to be recovered on the South side to transmit it to the North side, a double-flow VMC and several radiant panels.
Today, heating is one of the most energy-consuming elements in different homes. This energy consumption easily becomes harmful to the environment in a situation of overconsumption.
This is why the ecological heating options, insulated walls and programmable thermostats are crucial methods to limit this excess energy consumption.
Abalone also takes several other environmental measures. They are available in the CSR report of the company.
