We are going to explain what you should do to consume 30% less light when using the air conditioning. At least, those are the calculations that have been released from Iberdrola. They recommend a simple adjustment so that their customers use less electricity and you will see that it is a simple process.
Activate night mode
The advice given by Iberdrola to save 30% with air conditioning is to use the night mode. They indicate that it is recommended that you go to bed when the room is acclimatized and, from that moment, disconnect the device. Logically, with this you will achieve that during the night you spend absolutely nothing. But of course, there are nights when you may want to leave it because the temperature outside is very high.
In this case, what they recommend is to activate the night mode. What does this mean? What the air conditioning will do is maintain comfort, keep the room acclimatized, but without working at full power. That is, it will not be working in the same way that it would be during the day. With this, you could get to save 30% of consumption.
For keep temperature at night you must take into account several factors. The first is that the outside temperature will drop compared to what it does during the day, so the air will have to work less to maintain that comfort. In addition, it is a room in which there will be no air movement during the night, nor will you be opening doors or windows. Therefore, it does not need to be at full capacity.
Adjusting the temperature, key to saving
Beyond activating the night mode or not, something you can do is adjust the temperature. Not all air conditioners have this mode, although today most do. Therefore, whatever you have in your house, you will always be able to set a suitable temperature so that it uses little energy.
What is a suitable temperature? During the day, you may need the temperature to be somewhat lower. Outside air can enter if you open a door or window and you are also more active. On the other hand, at night, to sleep, the temperature can be somewhat higher. It is important that don’t put it below 24 degree. You don’t really need it and it can even be harmful.
At midnight, when you have reached deep sleep, the body temperature begins to drop. This usually happens around 4 in the morning, although it will depend on each person and how much you go to bed. If the temperature in the room is too low at that time, you may have trouble sleeping.
Therefore, the ideal is to have the air at night at no less than 24 degrees. If you can put it at 25 or 26, better in order to save. You must find a temperature with which you are comfortable and also keep in mind the option of night mode to use less electricity. If you use home automation, it is essential to prevent Wi-Fi from disconnecting.
