  4. Thank you

  5. What have you learned? Which age category emits the most carbon dioxide • Under 30’s • 50-64 • Over 70’s

  6. In a house with no insulation, where is most of the heat lost? • Through the floor? • Through the walls? • Through the roof?

  7. Through the walls – if possible, always insulate.

  8. How much energy consumed by the average washing machine is used to heat the water? • Almost 90% • Almost 70% • Almost 60%

  9. Which of these generates the least carbon emissions? • 6 minute electric shower • 6 minute shower from a gas fired combi boiler • 6 minute bath

  10. Turning the thermostat down by 1º can cut how much from the average heating bill? • 5% • 10% • 15%

  11. Is a kWh the same as a unit of gas?

  12. How did the UK do? Overall, we made an energy saving of 5.62% And we saved….. 17.4 tonnes of CO²

  13. What does that mean…? 1 tonne of CO2 = 3,001 miles in a car 5,791 miles on a bus 10,321 miles on a train Or 57,000 cups of tea

  14. 2010 – 496 million tonnes of CO2 Average carbon footprint of someone in UK is 15 tonnes of CO2 30% from home energy use Energy use in home accounts for 3.2 tonnes of CO2

  15. 1 broadleaf tree left to grow for 100 years will absorb in the region of 1 tonne of CO2

  16. European results – Year 2

  17. European results – Year 2

  18. What has made the savings…. Most people just wanted to save money Surprising increase in interest in environment Substantial increase in number of people who now always: • turn lights off when they leave the room; • Turn the TV off at the wall; • only boil the amount of water needed; and • Set the thermostat lower. Has been significant increase in number who feel more informed about energy efficiency in their home and their appliances.
