In “Guide to Preserving and Rationing Energy Consumption”, a
pamphlet published on its website, the ministry urges the public to try to use
energy optimally using high energy efficiency devices and equipment.
Studies suggest that 20–21°C is a comfortable temperature in
the winter season during the day, and that raising this temperature by just 1°C
leads to a more than 5 percent increase in fuel consumption, the guide said.
The guide also called for periodic maintenance of heating
systems, which may help reduce the amount of diesel consumed by about 5 percent.
The ministry suggested that boilers should undergo routine maintenance at least
once a year.
