Energy-saving measures
Heating will be in “normal” mode throughout the holiday period. Please be aware that even the smallest actions can help us save energy. So if you'll be away, please switch off as much equipment (including computers) as possible and turn down the heating in unused premises wherever practicable. The caretakers will also do their best to ensure that these instructions are implemented.
