Household energy efficiency in Denmark

Overview

In Denmark, the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) reports that reducing indoor temperatures by one degree Celsius can lower heating consumption by approximately 5 percent. For an average household of 130 square meters, this adjustment may result in annual savings of nearly 1,000 DKK.

Experts from Bolius and the Danish Energy Agency recommend maintaining indoor temperatures between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, noting that dropping below 18 degrees increases the risk of moisture and mold growth.

To optimize heating systems for winter, experts advise several maintenance steps, including bleeding radiators to remove trapped air, ensuring thermostats are set to the same level in connected rooms, and maintaining system pressure at approximately 1.5 bar. Additionally, keeping furniture and dust away from radiators and using quick drafts of 2-3 minutes for ventilation are recommended to prevent energy waste.
