How can sustainable building practices help to reduce my running costs?
There are many new innovations which can help to significantly reduce energy bills and cut down on emissions – such as insulation made from natural materials, ground source heat pumps, and solar panels for heating and hot water, all of which can make a big difference. Waste water (known as grey water) can be re-used to flush toilets or provide garden irrigation. Double or triple glazing and making a house or commercial premises as airtight as possible can significantly reduce heat loss.
