Strategy to reduce home emissions by 29 per cent
The Government have set out plans to make cut emissions from Britain’s homes by 29 per cent over the next decade.
The Warm Homes, Greener Homes Strategy will help people make homes comfortable, warmer and cheaper to run.
Installing some technologies, such as solid wall insulation, could see energy bills cut by £380 a year.
The new strategy will also create up to 65,000 jobs, such as installing and manufacturing energy saving measures or providing home energy advice.
The strategy will be implemented in a three stage plan - to insulate six million homes by the end of 2011, to have insulated all practical lofts and cavity walls by 2015 and to have offered up to seven million eco upgrades by 2020, with all homes to have smart meters.
The main elements of the Warm Homes, Greener Homes Strategy include action to dismantle the financial barriers to energy efficiency, new local approach, help to those who need it most and better information and standards for consumers.
