Abstract

In this #Engshort, we look at whether your home could be more #energy #efficient. Our homes account for 20% of UK #greenhouse gas emissions every year, so whether you’re a homeowner or landlord, could you be doing more to reduce your #carbonfootprint? Our national #retrofit recommendations take a look at the ways we can upgrade the efficiency of our #homes to eliminate carbon emissions.
