(Université de Genève) What role can households play in the energy transition? The European ENERGISE project, led by UNIGE in Switzerland, carried out an experiment to reduce energy consumption. The goal was to lower room temperatures to 18°C and to halve the amount of washing cycles. The results indicated that the changes did result in low energy consumption by up to 6%, as well as 13 million m3 of water saved -- without any significant impacts on comfort levels.
