Cambridge Architectural Research (CAR) was commissioned by The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to estimate the potential energy savings that could be achieved by households adopting everyday 鈥榖ehaviours鈥�. Some of the 45 behaviours examined describe a change in the way people use energy in their homes (e.g. 鈥榯urn the thermostat down鈥�), while others describe a technical upgrade (e.g. 鈥榠nsulate hot water tank鈥�), and a small number describe both a technical upgrade and a change in behaviour (e.g. 鈥榠nstall water efficient shower head and use twice every day鈥�).
