Details

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�).
