The Utility of 'Lite': Getting Real About Demand Reduction | 25 comments (25 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

National energy audit (4.00 / 2)

has been suggested in the Netherlands - and immediately scoffed at - but there are now agencies who offer the service to determine a house's energy usage and report back with recommendations.

Your thought seems to determine what is nowadays a good standard for energy usage - which opens a whole extra can of worms. It may have been suggested before, but surely sensible. I will be busy developing the spreadsheet further, looking for other material and querying other people to do likewise. If there isn't a standard yet, let's develop one.

Pics (none / 1)

are coming through here, I only added two pictures: one of my heater and the one on the very end. I think some admin mojo was already released to fix the problems during the weekend - my thanks to those Powers That Be (whomever they are).
