The majority of Poles already save energy

More than half of Poles using district heating have changed their habits to save heat this season. Most believe that the optimum temperature in the bedroom or living room should be around 20 degrees Celsius, and two-thirds declare that they prefer to dress warmer rather than turn the radiator up at home. However, the majority of respondents feel ill-informed about saving heat and are looking for advice on how to do so, according to a survey conducted by ARC Rynek i Opinia for the Polish Association of Combined Heat and Power Plants (PTEZ). Hence the idea for the nationwide campaign "Heat counts". It is intended to equip Poles with knowledge on how to reduce unnecessary heat consumption.

"Our research shows that most Poles are aware that saving heat affects both their wallets and environmental issues. What is lacking, however, is comprehensive knowledge in this area. Poles know examples of how heat savings can be achieved in premises, but would like to know more," Dorota Jeziorowska, director of the PTEZ.
