insulation
insulation creates a barrier within your wall, floor or roof

This barrier prevents heat escaping in the winter and ensures that your building remains cool in the summer.

There are many different types of insulation, but the golden rule is: the more there is, the better it works.

Whats so great about insulation?

  • the single most effective way of improving energy efficiency
  • 35% of heat in a house is lost through uninsulated walls and 25% through roofs
  • it’s cheap, so has one of the shortest payback periods
  • it’s hidden, so doesn’t get in your way
  • you can put insulation on the inside or the outside of your building
  • keeps sounds out - great in noisy towns and cities
  • putting it in your loft is easy and immediately makes your home cheaper to heat
  • you can install some types of insulation for free using a government grant

Flying is actually more efficient than driving


Truth: It is true that a single person in a car cruising down the motorway at 70mph, uses more energy per kilometre travelled per passenger than a plane. But when a car travels more slowly it becomes much more efficient. And obviously, putting 5 people in a car makes it use 5 times less energy per passenger!


UK-wide statistics suggest that – on average – flying uses around 1.3 times more energy than driving.


The real problem is that on one return flight to Australia you travel over 30,000km, a distance that the average person drives in 2.5 years...
