Home Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction

Building insulation

Roof, wall, floor, window, and draught improvements can reduce heat loss. The best measures depend on the building, climate, ventilation needs, moisture risk, and local construction guidance.

Controls and monitoring

  • Use heating and cooling schedules that match occupancy.
  • Measure high-consumption appliances rather than relying only on label power.
  • Reduce standby loads with safe controls.
  • Compare equivalent meter periods after a change.

CarbonCAM estimates appliance energy from wattage and use duration, then supports user-entered meter comparisons.
