UNPLUG
Don’t leave your appliances on standby
mode, as they still use up to 15% of their
operating power. Rather switch them off at
the plug point and do not forget to unplug
your cell phone charger after your phone
has charged, or it will continue to draw
power.

CONTROL YOUR ROOM TEMPERATURE
In summer, set your air-conditioner
between 20°C to 23°C and wear light, loose-
fitting clothing like shorts and short-sleeved
tops. Drink plenty of cold fluids to keep your
body hydrated and cool.
During winter, it’s best to keep your room
temperature set between 18°C and 20°C.
Dress warmly – use an extra jacket, blankets
and a hot water bottle to keep warm, to
avoid using a heater.
