Domestic Energy Efficiency Primer
(Good
Practice Guide171)
Published
by the Housing Energy Efficiency Best
Practice Programme. This Guide is designed
to help you with enquiries from clients
about either home improvements or building
problems. In the case of home improvements,
measures to improve energy efficiency
are often cheaper if they are installed
when other building work is carried
out. Where there are building problems
there is often an opportunity to use
energy efficient solutions in order
to provide the added benefit of reducing
the client’s fuel bills and improving
comfort.

for the environmental Industries Federation
for One Northeast 2003.
The objective of the regional biomass
mapping exercise has been to understand
the current activity, knowledge and
interest in the use of biomass for
energy production.
The report presents the results which
will then form a baseline from which

industry can be developed and progress
measured.
