greentomatoenergy has worked on a number of low energy buildings, with many different kinds of insulation

Although it might seem simple, installing insulation can actually be quite complicated and getting it wrong can have serious consequences. There are questions like:

  • how to attach it to the wall?
  • how to install wires and plumbing within the insulation? 
  • how to prevent condensation from forming? and
  • how to run insulation continuously around the building, eliminating losses through gaps in the fabric or "thermal bridges"?

Our knowledge of low energy buildings means we can advise on the best solution, which insulation type is best in each scenario, whether to install it on the inside or the outside of your building and how to deal with any problems cheaply and effectively. Throughout all of this we make sure cost effectiveness is a top priority; we believe saving you money shouldn’t cost you a bomb.

Flying is ok because aviation only produces a few percent of global CO2 emissions.


Truth: Globally, it is true that aviation does not produce more than a few percent of CO2. However if you take a single intercontinental flight every year, this is likely to dominate your own personal CO2 emissions.
More importantly, emitting the gas high up in the atmosphere means that the global warming effect of every tonne of CO2 emitted by a plane is 2-4 times worse than that of the same tonne emitted on the ground!
Another problem is the speed of growth of the aviation industry: between 1990 and 2001, UK passenger numbers increased by 73%. Over the same period, average fuel consumption per passenger per kilometre travelled actually increased by 12%!  In 2008, aviation was responsible for 23% of transport fuel use in the UK.
