Dear Network here comes my 5 cents on personal energy actions How to help climate and air pollution by your use of energy: Heating or chilling your house or apartment is a big contributor to CO2 emission and air pollution (almost 9.000.000 people ! die annually due to air pollution) Actions: Get the place you live checked. Then initiate better isolation of the house/building, better windows, doors etc. Change from oil, gas or wood heating. Use instead heat pumps or ground heating Install solar panels Consider your amount of m2. Could you live with less space? The outcome from above actions will really reduce your CO2 emission. Enjoy 😊

🌍 On 22nd of July, Earth set a new record, a global daily average temperature of 17.16°C, shattering the prior record of 17.08°C, set the day before. This is a direct result from the ongoing #GlobalWarming. Unfortunately it is unlikely that this new record will last long, as #ClimateChange fueled by human activities, in particular energy related activities, is becoming a rather fast moving train. To limit the damage it is important to act, and any action should be performed fast and be long term #Sustainable! 🍎 One of the low hanging fruits, and probably the lowest hanging fruit, is to #Decarbonize our thermal demands, particularly #SpaceHeating and #HotWater demands. For those of us living in Northern #Europe the solution is obvious, and well known. It goes by name names, such as #DistrictHeating, #HeatNetworks, #DistrictEnergy, #Fjernvarme, #Fjärrvärme, #Fernvärme, and in my mother tongue Hitaveita. 📣 The power of district heating is its ability to enable the use of wide variety of decarbonized heat sources, which could not be cost-effectively exploited on a building to building level. A great example of multi-source district heating is the #Copenhagen system, which is presented in this Danfoss sustainability awareness video. Danfoss Climate Solutions

You heard it here first. Heating hot water during peak times (around breakfast, lunch, and dinner) means a larger carbon footprint. But why is this? During the colder, darker months we need to rely on fossil fuels to heat water during peak times. Set your cylinder timer to heat your water 'off-peak' between 11pm and 5am and use 100% low-carbon electricity from the European grid, cutting emissions by nearly 90% Want to learn more?

There is a huge amount of ambient and waste heat available. Using it with heat pumps in buildings and industry is multiple times more efficient than burning fossil fuels. It makes the problem we try to solve significantly smaller and allows us to use free pre-existing heat.
