Air conditioners
The energy consumption from air conditioners during summer is a major portion of energy consumed in the home.
Around 26% of the average household energy consumption is associated with air conditioning.
For the summer period the recommended range for household air conditioning thermostats is 24 to 27 degrees Celsius
for energy efficiency and comfort. Around these set points, for each degree the thermostat is raised, the energy
consumption and cost associated with air conditioners can decrease by up to 10%.

Water
The 9am – 6pm sprinkler ban remains in place during the daylight saving trials. The time does not change.
Reticulation systems may therefore need adjusting.
Watering is most effective during the coolest part of the day, i.e. early in the morning or later in the
evening. For more information go to http://www.watercorporation.com.au/
