Good Energy have made available a guide for householders on how and why they should improve the energy efficiency of their home. There's a useful chart too showing the relative contribution of different uses of energy in the home.
This is a really useful guide as it starts with the very important first steps, such as draught-proofing and insulation, giving information on costs and savings from doing this. These relatively cheap and effective steps can sometimes be missed in the excitement of generating your own heat and power, for this chapter alone the guide is worth downloading.
The chapters on saving gas and saving electricity are packed with useful information to help you choose energy efficient appliances and use them most effectively. The tables at the back giving running costs and electricity consumption for various appliances just the type of information you can't often get hold of easily.
If everyone made use of this guide it would make a big difference to energy use in our homes. Why not start now?
If you don't want to go it alone with the guide, why not contact me for help to green your home?
