Home Energy Conservation

Did You Know....
  • The average British Household spends up to £1000 per year on fuel bills
  • £300 of that could be saved by improving insulation and heating
  • Providing heat and power to your home is responsible for one quarter of the UK's emissions of carbon dioxide, one of the gases that causes climate change
  • Climate change is considered to a be a serious threat to our survival in both developed and especially in developing countries

You can use this emissions calculator to assess your own energy use:

Reducing our homes energy consumption has a key role to play in sustainable development, producing social and economic benefits and protecting the environment. There are many simple ways to reduce your energy and save yourself money in the process.

 
The average house uses energy for the following tasks(with percent of annual energy use noted):

 
Heating 38 percent
Hot Water 19 percent
Major Appliances 21 percent
Other Appliances 15 percent
Lighting 7 percent

When comparing an average house to an energy efficient house, it's possible to reduce annual energy bills up to 40 percent. You may therefore want to consider developing an energy conservation plan for your home by using the following approach: identify the problem areas where energy is being lost or inefficiently used; prioritize the problem areas according to how much energy is being lost or inefficiently used; and correct the prioritized problems according to the limits of your household energy improvement budget.

Here are some useful ideas for energy conservation:
 
  • Loft Insulation
  • Cavity Wall Insulation
  • Double Glazing
  • Energy Saving Ligh Bulbs
 
SO DON'T LAG BEHIND - Insulating your home saves money.
