Whether one is sensitised or not,
emitted per day
the heating consumes often the
9
biggest chunk of energy.
Same comfort level, different emissions
.
Heating A difference of one degree
.
equals a reduction of 6%
.
(a few degrees colder)
.
In this example, C0
2
emitted daily by two persons living in Munich are split up
.
into the different activities which produce them, showing how easily less CO2 .
could be emitted while enjoying the same level of comfort needs: 38 kg of C0
.

emitted by an average consumer versus 14 kg by a more aware one.
