Simple gestures of those who visit us that will allow more sustainable Murcia.
The Department of Environment, through the Local Energy Agency of Murcia (ALEM) and in collaboration with Hostemur will launch a campaign that included a decalogue of actions that invite guests to the hotels to save water and energy and thereby contribute to the fight against climate change.
This initiative aims to promote awareness of energy conservation and efficiency among users of the hotel facilities of the municipality.
Of course, some of the Decalogue points highlight the need to save water.
This project is included in the Local Strategy to Climate Change which aims to reduce by 20% CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.
The council hopes that both his arrival and in the room, visitors read the Ten Commandments and be aware of the concern that exists by the City of changing attitudes towards other more sustainable.
It also includes the urban local road travel.
The Decalogue, which will include 1,820 rooms in the 39 hostels, guesthouses and hotels from one to four stars, and its reception is as follows:
1 .- Use only the power you need.
Turn off lights when not needed.
Take advantage of natural light.
If you are working, use only the illumination of tabletop.
Illuminated atmosphere generates unnecessary emissions.
For each kWh of energy savings by preventing the release into the atmosphere of almost half a kg of CO 2
2 .- Set the air conditioner in summer 25 º C and 21 º C in winter.
Lower energy expenditure by 10% and 20% and reduced by 800 kg CO 2 per year.
Turn off air conditioning at night or when leaving the room.
With higher temperatures and lower energy consumption will increase no comfort.
3 .- Try not to open the windows when you are on the heating or air conditioning. This will help avoid wasting energy unnecessarily and that the heated or cooled air from escaping.
If the temperature is not to your taste is preferable to adjust the thermostat, shut off heaters or air conditioning.

5 .- Use the front of the bathroom shower. Saves about 150 gallons of water.
Close the tap while soaping, shaving or brushing teeth.
This avoids losing between 10 and 20 liters per minute.
A temperature above 40 º C in water is a waste of energy
6 .- Close the taps. A tap dripping for an hour let out about a quart of water.
Saving water always brings energy savings.
Use a glass to rinse the teeth.
Rationalize water consumption and do not leave the taps open unnecessarily.
