"Everyone" encourages people to save energy.
Well, in these conditions, I'm shocked by one thing: the LAMENTABLE equipment of buildings and public buildings.
Observe your town hall, your schools, your high schools ... they are often chasms energy.
To name only 2 criterion: glazing and lighting. In a lot of cases it is simple glazing and economic bulbs are more than rare (although the neon are still quite common but still ...).
Obviously all the (big) cities will show you "new" energy-saving buildings and the regions will show you wood or biogas boilers. Obviously ...
For example, the new building of the Alsace regional council is a "semi" organic climatic building (well there is a maximum of glazing all the same therefore losses in winter and greenhouse effect in summer), finally on paper it is a building "thrifty" ... but a large majority of obsolete and energetically obsolete buildings are still in "service" that would make any consultant in Energy Diagnostics crazy!
So governments and policymakers who advocate loudly and clearly for individuals to invest could start to set an example? And I do not speak by building new buildings that cost billions but by rehabilitating the buildings in function! What does it cost to change bulbs for a state? Frankly? It's a joke ...
On the other hand, it is our taxes that pay their energy losses so good ... as long as the financial balance is there it should not generate them. But ecologically it makes me angry ... And you? You probably have some examples near you ...
ps: in your opinion, the buildings of the high French authorities are isolated and heated how? I think of Matignon, the Parliament, the Elysée, the Ministries ...

which sums up pretty well my initial thought of this subject!
