15. Check tire pressure


Air pressure in car tires should be checked regularly because of your safety on the road. Another very important reason for checking the pressure is to prevent driving a car with low pressured tires. Low pressure means higher fuel consumption. Check pressure every month.


Impact: reduce fuel consumption, reduce pollution, save money


14. Adjust air condition device in summer according to outer temperature

If outer temperature is 28 degrees Celsius in summer, you should adjust inner temperature on air condition device to no less than 24 degrees Celsius. It is not recommended to have more than 4 degrees Celsius difference between inner and outer temperature.

Impact: reduce electricity consumption, save money, reduce pollution

13. Use Thermostatic Radiator Valves

Thermostatic radiator valves are very smart devices used for more than 20 years for radiator heating. Thermostatic radiator valve regulates radiator temperature depending on room temperature. When room temperature reaches adjusted temperature on thermostatic radiator valve, then this “smart” valve automatically reduces radiator temperature … and vice versa … if room temperature is dropping then “smart” valve is opening and radiator gets warm again.

Impact: reduce pollution, save money
