There are many environmental labels. Too many to keep track and to know which character says what. An overview of different labels in the construction area should help. (tdx) Environmental protection is important, and of course you want to like select the products that you buy, according to these criteria. However, who does not know that, when standing in front of a shelf with different products running logos adorn, the \”environmental\” recycling\”resource conservation\” highlight of which you have but even little idea, what they mean exactly and what criteria they have been created. Usually applies: you have to have confidence.
Everybody know: trust is good, control is better. To make some light in the tangled jungle of environmental product labels, below a small overview of various well-known and less well-known labels in the area of construction products. The Blue Angel Blue Angel is one of the oldest and best-known environmental labels in Germany. A wide range of products, from different industries receive a Blue Angel. Different criteria grid displayed for the different product groups, such as furniture, colors, and toiletries. But only a selected factor, such as, for example, the outgassing in colors throughout the entire life cycle is considered and evaluated, but not created a complete life cycle of the product with all its properties. The label on this a factor is useful for the consumer.
Moreover, should one but always be aware that through the voluntary participation of the companies, products without the Blue Angels must be not necessarily bad for the environment, as certified products. For the construction sector, the Blue Angel is only partly useful, because except for paints and varnishes, hardly product groups in the construction sector are identified. The flower of the euro the euro flower is introduced in 1992, the overall environmental character that distinguishes special environmental qualities of a product. The General guidelines for the procurement and the designated Product groups can be compared with those of the Blue Angel.

How homeowners and tenants can lower the costs for heating and hot water chubby warm through the winter… Properly heating and air: already a degree of less saves up to six percent of the cost. Ambient temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees are ideal. Lower the room temperature shouldn’t be though, otherwise the walls cool down too much. Then there is a danger of mould. At night, closed curtains or shutters protect against heat loss. And don’t forget the airing: instead of continuous airing of the flipped Windows should shock airing prefer several times a day, otherwise too much energy is lost.
To every 5 to 10 minutes the window wide open and thereby close the radiator valves. Tankless water heater instead of boilers: hot water consumption rises straight during the cold season. Who to this end focuses on efficient tankless water heater instead of hot water storage tank (boiler), can save you up to 60 percent of the cost. Because heat during water heaters that keep the temperature for a long time, Tankless water heater cold water only when needed up to the set temperature and is then off again. Indemnify radiator and vent: furniture, curtains, or curtains before the radiators to prevent distribution of the heat in the room. This also applies to thermostatic valves: must the temperature “feel free” can and must be not closed so that no heat is formed. Also it can not function optimally, if air has accumulated in them.
The radiator can be quickly and easily bleed with a bleed key from the hardware store or retailer. Dams is easy – and save money: through insulation, less heat is lost. What applies to the outer wall, is true also in the attic: an extra layer of insulation, which is installed in the attic or rolled out, reduces significantly the energy loss. Also leaking Windows and doors can easily be sealed in their own work. And don’t forget the basement: each meter of ungedammter heating pipe in the basement means an annual consumption of up to 10 litres oil. The insulation of the basement ceiling will help reduce energy consumption.
