Have people turned down their heating this winter?

Yes - home heating settings averaged almost a degree lower this winter than in previous years.

Source is data from @[email protected] using hundreds of thousands of smart thermometers installed in households across Europe.

@janrosenow it would be interesting to see a similar map with the current average temperature setting. 0,99 down from ie 21 is less impressive then 0,5 down from 19.
@janrosenow Thanks for sharing. Speculative, but I would not be surprised if for all consumers, numbers are a lot better. People with a tado are probably substantially better off than average.

@janrosenow
Ist natürlich nicht gerade eine zufällige Stichprobe.
Trotzdem: Größenordnung könnte etwa hinkommen.
Es zeigt sich aber auch: Diese 1°C machen so etwa 6% Einsparung aus. (Nicht besonders viel! & das angesichts massiver Krisenlage)
Es wurde aber deutlich weniger Gas verbraucht, wie das?
(1)Glück gehabt: extrem milder Winter
(2)Einige haben schon auch z.B. Leitungen gedämmt
(3)&einige sind auf Einzelöfen (happy Rauschwaden allerseits!) umgestiegen

Nur (2) hilft wirklich weiter.

@janrosenow I wonder if people were comfortable with lower temperatures or turned down the heating out of economic necessity. "Heating or eating" is a horrible choice.
@janrosenow Good news. There are lots of positives from this energy crisis.
@janrosenow Here we are down appr 2 degr (from 20 to 18). Earlier this week I met a couple (pensioner age) who put their temperature to 12 degrees. Not for the costs (that couple has plenty and so do we) but because of Putins war and environment.
