Heat pumps can save households hundreds of pounds.

For the first time efficient heat pumps in the UK are now cheaper to run than gas boilers shows new analysis by @RegAssistProj.

This is because gas prices increased by more than electricity prices.

Why we need more, not less energy efficiency.

Without past energy efficiency improvements UK household energy bills could go up by an additional £1,000 per year.

@scotsguy_61 @ArchitectsCAN Agree that more support is needed for homeowners, this campaign is to ensure homes that are built by developers etc are up to a higher standard so homeowners won’t need to upgrade them. And those who can’t afford heating don’t need it.

Very proud to be launching this campaign to reduce fuel poverty and carbon emissions in Northern Ireland today.

Building Regulations Part F (NI) is about how well we #InsulateNI buildings.
Building poorly insulated homes will increase fuel poverty!

Energy Performance Certificates to include Embodied Carbon assessments for new buildings! Amazing idea, but we can’t and needn’t wait until 2030 for that to happen!! We have the understanding, method, and mandate to do this now via #PartZ @ArchitectsCAN @CommonsEAC

"More than 50% of our gas comes from overseas and we need to be generating clean power here. People aren't talking about the amount of gas we use in our homes and reducing that - and the government is absent on this."
