Save Energy - Save Money - Save the Environment

What can you do about increasing heating costs?

Nobody wants to leave their warm houses in the cold winter months. But everybody can with a few simple changes save at energy, save money and still be warm: a large part of the heat in our houses escapes outthrough roof, walls, windows, doors and basement.

But such a waste of heat can be prevented by making smart changes and modernisations of the home and you can save much money; so minimising carbon dioxide which is harmful to the environment.

An average home uses about 70% of its energy for heating. Heating of homes is responsible for about 25% of the damaging CO2 released into the environment.

 

Carbon footprint

Carbon Dioxide ( CO2) is a gas produced when the combustion process of a hydrocarbon fuel is completed.

This Gas is creating the ‘Greenhouse’ effect on the planet
.With this the planet temperature is rising.
This results in the melting of the polar ice caps releasing fresh water into the oceans and the volume of the seas increasing.
What also is happening is the volume of the oceans are increasing because of thermal expansion.

With every 1 deg C rise in temperature the volume of water increases.
Coupled with this when oil or gas is burned water vapour is also released with the CO2.

What this is resulting in is sea levels rising and unusual weather patterns.
This is apparent with the wet summer of 2007 in Ireland and the UK.
There is now high level of Public Awareness on advising everyone on reducing their ‘Carbon Footprint’
