New thermostats could slash energy bills by 40% - study shows.
The study looked at how different types of thermostats affect energy savings when using adaptive temperature settings. They tested thermostats with accuracies of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 °C in various scenarios. Results showed that using precise thermostats can lead to significant energy savings, especially in air conditioning systems. With the right thermostat, energy savings of over 40% can be achieved. Heating systems, however, only showed energy savings with certain thermostat types. Overall, using adaptive temperature settings can help reduce energy consumption and combat climate change.
