Home energy toolkit. There is now a bewildering range of options for saving energy in the home from very simple low cost measures that are part of good housekeeping to more complex installations that require professional guidance, careful thought and often significant expense.
Description |
This toolkit will guide you through these options from the simple to the more complex.
The toolkit is arranged in four parts:
- Part 1. Easy savings covers energy saving measures which are easy to carry out whatever the age and construction of your home.
- Part 2. How well does your house perform? is about understanding how well your house performs and what issues need to be considered before embarking on energy saving measures that meet the particular needs of your home.
- Part 3. Draught-proofing and easy insulation details a range of improvements to consider before carrying out more complicated and costly energy efficiency measures.
- Part 4. Planning for the longer term includes measures which are more costly and complicated and might be considered as part of a longer term plan or when alterations or repairs are being considered which can provide opportunities for thermal upgrading work.
