3.2 Using energy more efficiently in the home
The Energy Saving Trust identifies ways to reduce the energy use in your home.
It identifies two key efficiency savings options:
reduce heat loss from the home
replace inefficient boilers with more efficient ones.
Activity 7
Work through the Energy Saving Trust’s home insulation sections and consider how they might apply to your house. Draw up a list of actions that would be worthwhile to you.
Consider the boiler replacement section and consider whether that might apply to you.
Now work through the energy-saving products section and draw up a list of product actions and replacements that would increase efficiency in the use of energy in your home.
Reflect on what action, if any, you feel moved to take. What is moving and what is blocking your own response to this information?
