Domestic energy efficiency: home improvements?

Author(s) : JONES E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

In 1995, domestic energy efficiency received a boost with the Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA). The Act, which has been in force in England and Northern Ireland for 18 months, requires local authorities to draw up plans to improve domestic energy efficiency by 30% over the following 10-15 years. To date, a total of GBP 11 million has been allocated to HECAction in three tranches. Funding is awarded on a competitive bidding basis and, as such, is only available to some local authorities. Without central support, energy conservation authorities simply won't be able to make progress in helping the Government achieve its overall CO2 reduction target.
