By taking small steps at home, you can save energy and money and help protect the climate by reducing emissions. Households produce roughly a quarter of all direct CO2 emissions that occur in the EU today.
Isolation
- Replace single-glazed windows with double-glazed windows. Double-glazed windows lose 50-70% less heat.
- Can't install double glazing? Thick curtains or removable insulating window panels will reduce the flow of cold air into your home.
- Drafts can be a major source of heat loss. You can save energy by sealing gaps around windows or installing draft insulation under doors. Even adding covers to keyholes and mailboxes can make a difference!
- Insulate hot water tanks, central heating pipes and wall cavities. If you cannot install cavity wall insulation, install radiator insulation reflectors on the wall behind the radiators.
