There are many ways to save energy and reduce fuel utility bills in modern and older homes in the UK for example by installing sunpipes. We recommend starting out by viewing the section regarding Renewable Energy Resources as a starter for home efficiency savings, with an introduction to some Green Energy solutions for the home owner. This section serves to provide homeowners with further facts and information to help reduce energy consumption, and thus maintain a sustainable future through the reduction of CO2 emissions further enhancing "green" credentials, while saving money in the process.

Sunpipes are an optional way to bring natural daylight into your home, The Sunpipe is a way to save on lighting by brightening areas from sunrise till sunset, where daylight from windows cannot reach into your home. They are installed in the rooftop of domestic homes, they require no maintenance, and will not leak.

Home Efficiency Measures

EPC certificates give every home an "A to G" rating for its energy efficiency and carbon emissions. A ratings indicate higher efficiency, and G ratings are the least efficient. The certificates detail also provide projected costs for heating, hot water and lighting in the home under review and a report indicating how to cut costs through energy efficiency recommendations. These reports, prepared by either a qualified home inspector, or DEA domestic energy assessor advise homeowners on which measures should be considered to improve the overall ratings.

What is meant by "Payback Time"?

Quite simply the payback time is determined by your initial outlay for your chosen renewable energy option (the hardware and installation costs) verses the time it takes for your savings in energy costs to pay for the green energy solution you have chosen for your project. Thereafter, you begin to save money on your utility bills. A typical low cost solution for home energy generation is a domestic wind turbine for your home, as the initial costs are lower than say the installation of solar panels or a ground source heat pump, these installations may take longer to pay for themselves. It is worth considering seeking specialist advice for any renewable energy option to determine if the solution is the right one for your needs.

What is a Sunpipe?

A conventional skylight can only provide reasonable light when the sun shines. The construction and purpose of a SunPipe, being round in shape with a reflective interior collects all available light from the roof area, this in turn bounces the reflected light around the reflective interior of the unit, this is then transferred into your room or landing. This intensified light is diffused into the area, flooding it with free natural daylight. It can be used in virtually any situation e.g. for illuminating Shower Rooms, Toilets, Landings, or Corridors.
