Cutting home energy

There are lots of actions you can take to cut your home energy use from behaviour change to major whole house retrofits.

Here are some advice leaflets from the Centre for Sustainable Energy which are regularly updated. They cover insulation measures for doors, windows, walls, floors and lofts as well as heating controls.

The Energy Savings Trust also has great advice, and One Home has some good tips too.

A thermal image survey could be a good place to start.
