What energy efficiency measures are covered by the CSEP grant scheme?
The following energy efficiency measures can be funded in conjunction with a microgeneration technology installation: • Cavity wall insulation – un-insulated cavity walls, where present, can account for a third of all heat losses from a traditional building. Cavity wall insulation is therefore one of the most cost-effective energy efficiency measures to implement. The insulation material is injected into the cavity between the inner and outer brickwork that makes up the external wall of the building. An installer will do this from the outside. There are a variety of different insulating materials, but they all work in the same way – by combining with the captive air, the insulation acts as a barrier to heat loss. • Loft insulation – un-insulated loft spaces, where present, can account for a quarter of all heat losses from a building. Installing 250-270mm (10 inches) of loft insulation can significantly reduce this loss at relatively low cost. Properly trained installers should carry ou
