Reducing Carbon Emissions: A Guide For Architects

Think about hot water

Every 15 litres of hot water used from an electric water heater generates about one kilogram of greenhouse gas.

  • Check your water heater for efficiency - energy star rating
  • Is it electric, gas or solar - CO2 emissions?
  • Is hot water really necessary in bathrooms?
  • Is it necessary to leave tea urns and water heaters on all day?
  • Is it necessary to fill the kettle completely for just one cup of coffee?
