Energy Efficient Windows Could Save £110 Per Year Per Household

News emerges that more people than ever before will face financial pressures in the wake of increasing fuel bills, the call for household Energy Efficiency measures have never been greater.

With an average energy bill set to climb over £1400 in 2009 (from under £690 in 2005), the Government has given a commitment to help consumers improve household energy efficiency and permanently bring down energy bills.

Energy Efficient double glazing windows
As the nation waits for confirmation of where Government support will be given, many organisations are offering advice and guidance into where and how families can make changes that will cut their household energy costs.

Figures from the Energy Savings Trust suggest that if everyone undertook a number of simple measures including:

Fitting energy saving light bulbs, double glazed windows, installing a condensing boiler, cavity wall and loft insulation and jackets for Hot Water tanks, UK households could reduce energy bills by over £270 a year and save over £1.9bn in fuel costs.

Conservatory Outlet representative said: “It is increasingly becoming apparent that current fuel price increases are set to have dramatic effects on many people’s household bills.

“But making energy efficient changes, ahead of the winter months, could lead to savings of thousand’s of pound on future fuel bills – as well as adding to a house’s value. If people are considering making improvements we would urge them to look at the most energy efficient options.

“Installing double glazing for example, cuts heat lost through windows by half. Conservatory Outlet Dealers fit the very latest energy saving double glazing, which offers potential savings of over £110 per year per household.”.

Clear Water, Blue Skies: China’s Environment in the New Century $3.57 Since 1978 China ‘ s economy has produced economic growth rates making it one of the fastest growing economies. In the same period, China ‘ s environment has deteriorated significantly. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have generated enormous volumes of air and water pollutants, lowering air and water quality. China ‘ s urban population soared, moving more Chinese closer to industrial smokestacks and residential emissions and increasing the number of people exposed to polluted urban air and water. This report focuses on two of China ‘ s most pressing environmental concerns -air and water pollution- and their relation to economic growth. Specifically, it addresses three questions: What are the costs of pollution in China today? Will future economic growth impair or improve air and water quality? And what policies are needed now to ensure that rising incomes translate into a higher environmental standard of living for current and future generations? Chapter 2 estimates the costs of pollution -urban air pollution, indoor air pollution, water pollution, and lead pollution- on health (premature deaths and sicknesses); and assesses the damage to productive resources and urban infrastructure. Chapter 3 examines the economic reforms and environmental policies that can hold pollution costs in check. Various scenarios are presented: the business-as-usual scenario and alternative scenarios that increase fuel substitutions, improve energy efficiency and conservation and diversify energy supplies, invest in air pollution control, develop public transportation systems and discourage vehicle use, raise the abatement rate for industrial water pollution, and increase the coverage and level ofmunicipal wastewater treatment. Chapter 4 concentrates on improving efficiency and developing coal alternatives, and controlling emissions by industrial, power, commercial, and household sources. Chapter 5 focuses on China ‘ s need to revamp its regulatory system to harness market
