Energy Efficiency

Being energy efficient is not just about reducing your impact on the environment; it will also reduce expenditure on fuel as your energy consumption naturally reduces. In both the home and business we all want to see smaller bills, leaving more disposable income for leisure or increasing profits. By taking steps to ensure the energy that you use is consumed efficiently, it may be surprising to see how bills reduce.

In the home heating is the main use of energy. Many homes waste huge amounts of energy by not taking steps to ensure it is used effectively. The home must be sufficiently insulated that it will retain the heat being generated through the use of fuel. The first way to do this? Close all windows and external doors! Leaving doors and windows open while domestic heating is running is effectively heating the air outside – costly and totally unnecessary. The next step is to ensure the walls and roof are adequately insulated to retain heat in cold weather and keep heat out in warm weather. Government grants are available to assist with the cost of insulating the home for those on benefits or in receipt of a pension.

Transport is an aspect of everyday life where most of us could become more energy efficient. Our choice of vehicle is the first point at which we can demonstrate a commitment to energy control. A single person with an office job is unlikely to have the need for a large vehicle with a fuel-hungry engine; while a parent who does the daily school run does not need to drive a four by four vehicle with off-road capabilities. A great way for commuters to reduce their energy expenditure is through car-sharing. Websites are available to arrange car-sharing or schemes exist within companies and some roads even have a lane reserved for vehicles with more than one occupant at peak times, making the journey not only cheaper but also faster.
