     @globalc @benoit Buildings thermal isolation reconditioning should be another line of action, afaik. Not as easy as turning off lights though.

     @benoit Indeed, much potential there. In the recent time of blackout danger, they also reported how super markets etc. did that. They showed the guys running these really considering all options.
     Putting glass doors in front of freezers in super market would help already.
     But many office like also ours need to do their share: our aircon is set to 24deg, and that should be set higher now in summer.

     @globalc They need to reduce the air conditioning on supermarkets, combinis, post offices, etc... Crazy cold in there...
     Aircon draws a crazy lot of power.

     Oh, I didn't know the life cycle of residential buildings was so short. Shocking...

     Yes, that should be considered too. Construction takes a big chunk of the global energy/emissions shares.

     @tagomago
     Right, but this building style here of taking living houses down after 30 years would also need to be considered, better insulation needs also more resources, every time a house is build, even with the shorter utilization time here.
     The other day, a specialist tried to convince me they are not so bad with recycling things from buildings, but I have my doubts and would like to see numbers.
