Tre tips om att spara energi i byggnader
26 October 2022

Att sänka temperaturen är ett viktigt tips för att dra ned på energianvändningen i byggnader.
Med dagens höga elpriser behöver många dra ner på energianvändningen. Tor Broström, professor i kulturvård vid Uppsala universitet, ger tre enkla tips om hur man kan spara energi i byggnader.
Tor Broström ger några tips om hur man kan spara energi i byggnader. Dagens energikris är långt ifrån den första i historien, berättar Tor Broström i den här korta filmen.
– Så sent som 1973 hade vi oljekrisen, då de oljeproducerande länderna drog ned på produktionen. Bensin- och oljepriserna steg dramatiskt, det var panikstämning i hela västvärlden. Men det där var en situation som vi redde ut ganska snabbt i Sverige och i andra länder. Vi ställde om vårt energisystem från oljeberoendet och drog ned på energianvändningen.
Nu står vi inför en ny utmaning med höga elpriser och frågan är vad vi kan göra åt det. Tor Broström har tre enkla tips:
- sänk temperaturen
- dra för gardiner och persienner
- se över tätning av dörrar och fönster
– Med de här tre åtgärderna kommer du att kunna spara märkbara mängder energi utan att det kostar något eller har några negativa effekter, säger Tor Broström.
