-The energy demand for hot water makes up around 10% of total household consumption, which is often wasted. Therefore, it is worth looking into how hot water can be saved, such as by using a water-saving showerhead. The article [[https://passipedia.de/technik/duschkoepfe|water-saving - showerhead (in German)]] gives further information on this - the equipment is easy to obtain and replace. +The energy demand for hot water makes up around 10% of total household consumption, which is often wasted.

 A whole range of further measures are available for reducing the electricity demand - this will have a considerably positive impact with regard to climate protection and consumption of fossil fuels, as fossil-based power plants can often be shut down if less electricity is consumed.  A whole range of further measures are available for reducing the electricity demand - this will have a considerably positive impact with regard to climate protection and consumption of fossil fuels, as fossil-based power plants can often be shut down if less electricity is consumed.
