Domestic Energy Consumption in the UK Chen Xin (Vivian)
Energy Efficiency-on Space Heating • Roof Save heat loss by up to 60% • Wall Save heat loss by up to 60% • Ventilation Save heat loss by up to 80% • Window save heat loss by up to 50% Loft insulation Cavity insulation Draught insulation Heat recovery/Heat exchange Doubling glazing
Energy Efficiency-on Space Heating Standard Boiler (Energy efficiency 70%) Condensing Boiler (Energy efficiency 90%) 20% increase
Energy Efficiency-Cooking, lighting and appliances • Cooking : Energy-efficient cooking equipment (Electric oven, Microwave etc) • Lighting : Low energy lamps (LED) • Appliances : Green Logo appliances
Renewable and Nuclear Power • Solar energy • Wind energy • Others ( Wave,Tidal, Hydro) • Nuclear Power
Conclusion • Domestic energy consumption keep slight increase to 2030. • Population and household increase significantly offset the energy efficiency. • Further improvement the energy efficiency especially focus on space heating. • Promote renewable energy and nuclear power • Strategy – Low Carbon Transition Plan
First zero-emission home Two-bedroom house is insulated to lose 60% less heat than a normal home. Facility include Solar panels, a biomass boiler and water efficiency devices such as rainwater harvesting.
