Energiesprong is a Dutch concept that is redefining energy efficiency and deep energy retrofits. Learn why it's gaining traction in more and more countries.
A well-insulated building envelope serves to slow down the heat loss, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
Learn more about what a non-pipe alternative (NPA) means and how it helps utility and energy companies delay or avoid large investments in energy infrastructure.
The world wastes more energy each year than it uses - a home energy audit can help you find ways to save energy and money!
Home Energy Reports (HERs) are an important energy efficiency tool. But what exactly are they, and why are they important?
When it is not possible to carry out deep energy retrofit projects, such as replacing the roof, or upgrading heating and cooling systems – there are still minor retrofits or "low hanging fruit" upgrades and modifications which can reap energy savings.
Rising energy prices and the drive for low carbon fuels are likely to make fuel switching increasingly desirable to homeowners - it can also result in lower operational and maintenance costs. Carbon emissions from buildings can be reduced through fuel switching in residential or commercial buildings.
The most common type of heat pump in North America is an air-source heat pump. In the summer, an air-source heat pump works just like a regular AC: it takes warm air from inside your home and moves it outside. But in the winter, a heat pump works like an AC in reverse.
