 Our scenario is a person trying to save energy/money when using the sauna in a single-person apartment. Our motivation for this comes from the fact that electric sauna stove is one of the biggest electricity consumers at home, about 6-10 kWh/session, with over half of the stove's energy consumption coming from pre-heating and the rest from keeping the warm up during the sauna session. Energy companies usually give some general instructions that you can follow to make the use of sauna more energy-efficient: Our scenario is a person trying to save energy/money when using the sauna in a single-person apartment.
