⁦@eeiguk Chair, Sarah sets out in @politicshome how we can value the energy performance in the housing market and create a strong & stable, competitive market through a fair & flexible energy saving stamp duty #energysavings #energyefficiency https://t.co/gek9REVPZv

[Knauf Insulation UK & Ireland @KnaufUK]

Last year’s uplifts to Part L of the Building Regulations for England introduce greater scrutiny of quality. That’s why housebuilders need more than an insulation supplier; they need a partner who cares as much as they do.

We’re calling for a national 'war effort' on energy efficiency. Upgrading housing stock to high energy performance standards must be a national priority to enhance #UKEnergySecurity, reduce bills and cut climate-changing emissions.

The heating season is about to begin.

A reminder from @tado: UK homes are still in desperate need of being made more efficient.

[Neil Lee @ndrlee]

Striking how many of the UK's problems are related to a failure to invest (1/n)

1. Home insulation -> higher energy bills

[Ed Matthew @Ed_Matthew1]

The UK is addicted to gas with 85% using it for heating. We also have least energy efficient housing stock in Western Europe. The mix makes us uniquely exposed to this gas price crisis. This graphic from Tado is still shocking - with heat loss from U.K. homes 3 X that of Germany

[National Energy Action @NEA_UKCharity]

Today's @theCCCuk report shows why it's so important to improve home energy efficiency, given the soaring costs of energy says @peterwsmith101 #energyefficiency #climatechange #NetZero #EnergyCrisis

[EEIG @eeiguk]

Never a truer word spoken @eonenergyuk Michael Lewis! @eeiguk supports this approach through our better buildings investment plan. We have the investment plan to deliver but need @hmtreasury & @beisgovuk support (& @RishiSunak it can be cost effective too!)

[Josh Buckland @jbuckland13]

Compelling from ⁦@CSkidmoreUK⁩ on the need to go beyond simply a focus on energy supply. Unlocking £bn’s private investment in energy efficiency and clean heat readily possible, just need right mechanisms in place asap. No time to lose.

What’s most revealing is what’s missing – a gaping wide hole on demand reduction & energy efficiency. A retrofit revolution for cheaper bills, warmer homes & safer climate totally ignored – yet another open goal missed by this Govt

Whilst ignored in today’s #energysecuritystrategy let’s not forget the wider benefits of investing in energy efficiency, this is not about making more energy but

1️⃣ Securing savings to the NHS of £1.4bn per annum tackling fuel poverty and unhealthy homes

E.ON UK CEO’s strong comment on today’s #energysecuritystrategy speaks for itself

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Good to see VAT scrapped on green homes measures. But more than that, we need a massive investment to upgrade the UK's homes - some of the leakiest in Europe. This is what's needed to tackle the climate and cost of living crises for the long-term #SpringStatement2022

[EEIG @eeiguk]

@RishiSunak Chancellor:-
1️⃣ Previous energy efficiency schemes
have successfully reduced gas demand, contributing to nearly 30% domestic gas use reduction between 2005-2013

[EEIG @eeiguk]

In response to the pressing issues of the energy price crisis and energy security @eeiguk asks the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak @hmtreasury @RishiSunak @beisgovuk @KwasiKwarteng to:

[EEIG @eeiguk]

Energy security must start at home in the home 🏡 The Spring Statement provides an opportunity to build on the positive steps taken by government. Help people reduce the energy they use & lower their bills

[MIMA @MIMA_UK]

McCloud says Britain’s net-zero push should focus on a ‘fabric first’ approach

“Both heat pumps and boilers work better in homes that are well-insulated, but installations of insulation in homes fell by 95 per cent between 2012 and 2019” https://t.co/eMEI5rfvVH
