REDUCTION IN ENERGY USE Both the NGO s such as the Friends Of The Earth and multinational compnaies such as BASF both agree that by improvements in technology and the behaviour of humans the use of energy can be reduced. For instance in Germany a ''three litre house'' has been made, this is a house which requires very little fuel to keep it warm. Lofts , Cavity Wall s, and other heat savers It is known that a house can be made more envirometally damaging, and cheaper to heat by adding Thermal Insulation to the loft ( Fibre Glass ) and by adding insulation to the cavitys between the walls. It is important to consider the question of ''cost'' vs. ''reward''. It is possible to calculate the energy and resources required to make a ton of fibreglass loft insulation, the lifetime of the insulation and the amount of energy and resources saved per year by the fitting of the insulation to the building. |
