1.2.18 Turn off kitchen and bath fans immediately after use
Description
This measure consists in turning off fans of the bathroom and the kitchen approximately 10 minutes once they have cooled the room to avoid that they expel fresh air outside the house. Although this does not seem like a huge change, a lot of energy is used if these are left on all day.
