Making your home energy efficient saves you money, makes your lifestyle more comfortable and helps the environment. Incorporating energy efficient design principles and appliances into your home is best done during construction. Many of these principles can also be used in making existing homes more efficient.
Savings can be achieved through:
energy efficient design and construction.
installation of energy efficient appliances.
responsible householder behaviour.
The main advantage in minimising energy consumption is that it saves you money. Many solar passive houses result in minimal energy bills even in winter.
