-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.

 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.

   * Remove roof racks and roof fittings when not in use  (efficiency due to attentiveness ; such fittings increase flow resistance considerably, leading to higher fuel consumption and costs)
   * Avoid carrying excess loads (attentiveness: every kilogram has to be accelerated and the kinetic energy absorbed in this way is later "out-braked" (meaning it is converted into environmental heat which can no longer be utilised)
-  * Regular maintenance of the vehicle (efficiency due to careful operation) **Lightweight electric cars** may contribute quite considerably (40 %!) to a reduction in emissions, based on the DLR study linked here.
