Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page The first step to taking a whole-house energy efficiency approach is to find out which parts of your house use the most energy. A home energy audit will show you where these are and suggest the most effective measures for reducing your energy costs. You can conduct a simple home energy audit yourself, you can contact your local utility, or you can call an independent energy auditor for a more comprehensive examination. How We Use Energy In Our Homes (based on national averages)
The largest portion of a utility bill for a typical house is for heating and cooling.
Energy Auditing Tips Formulating Your Plan After you have identified places where your home is losing energy, assign priorities to your energy needs by asking yourself a few important questions: Once you assign priorities to your energy needs, you can form a whole-house efficiency plan. Your plan will provide you with a strategy for making smart purchases and home improvements that maximize energy efficiency and save the most money. Another option is to get the advice of a professional. Many utilities conduct energy audits for free or for a nominal charge. For a fee, a professional contractor will analyze how your home's energy systems work together as a system and compare the analysis against your utility bills. He or she will use a variety of equipment such as blower doors, infrared

Energy Saving requirements for certain Home Improvements in UK Building Regulations
Building Regulations have for many years included a section ("Part L") on the conservation of fuel and power, that applies to all new homes built in Britain. From 1st April 2002 some of these requirements were extended to improvement work carried out on existing homes in England and Wales. (Different rules apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland.)

When do the new regulations apply?
The new Building Regulations apply in three main circumstances:
  • on new constructions such as new buildings or extension works;
  • where there are material alterations: works that affect, during construction or after completion, structural stability, fire safety or means of access for the disabled; or
  • with the provision of controlled services and fittings: the provision of a new boiler (or new hot water cylinder) to replace an existing one or the provision of one or more new windows to replace existing ones.
  • What has to be done with windows, doors and rooflights?

    Would you like some financial help to upgrade your home's energy efficiency? Homeowners contemplating energy retrofits to their homes can benefit from the Government of Canada's EnerGuide for Houses Retrofit Incentive . Take advantage of this service aimed at helping homeowners make more energy efficient choices to lower their energy bills and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Learn about the requirements for how the grant is determined to receive a grant from $116 to $3,348, with the average amount being $630. The EnerGuide for Houses Retrofit Incentive process involves the following five steps:
    Step One: Schedule an Evaluation
    The first step is to book an appointment with an independent home energy advisor who assesses how your home uses energy and where it is being wasted. There is a fee for this service and the price varies across the country. "EnerGuide for Houses provides the homeowner with a confidential, impartial, accurate assessment of the energy efficiency of their specific home," explains Bryan Cuthill, head of special projects for HomePerformance. The Vancouver-based firm is one of many Canadian companies using trained, certified energy advisors to help homeowners identify energy efficiency improvements. "The most important tip I give to homeowners is, 'Get the EnerGuide for Houses evaluation first'," cautions Cuthill. "Book it now. Don't wait until you've spoken to your contractors, or started the work yourself, otherwise you may lose out on valuable grant money."

    GTA Clean Air Council Smog Summit ... CAP Team [printer friendly version] Home Improvements Planning home energy improvements Okay, okay, so you might not be able to make all the energy saving home improvements suggested in this guide. That's alright because some improvements are better energy savers than others. So it might make more sense for you to plan a couple of big energy saving improvements rather than completing several small ones. Check out which home improvement measures will save the most energy by viewing Home Energy Reduction Points Guide , created by 20/20 Toronto Public Health program. This chart will tell you which measures and activities save you the most energy using a points system. For example, if you accomplish 2,020 points worth of home energy saving improvements, this will translate into a 20% reduction in energy use, (and in your energy bills!) The 2,020-point goal can be reached by simply installing a new energy efficient furnace. But don't stop there, the more points you earn, the more energy and money you save. Use the points value system to help you decide how to approach your home energy improvements.

    GTA Clean Air Council Smog Summit ... CAP Team [printer friendly version] Home Improvements Improve the energy efficiency of your home Most energy waste in the home occurs through inefficient space and water heating systems, air leaks around windows and doors and poor insulation in the walls and floors. A few energy home improvements can help reduce your energy use and save you money (while helping the environment at the same time). The best way to reduce the energy requirements of your home is through home energy improvements such as adding better insulation to your walls or attic and replacing leaky windows with energy efficient ones. In the winter, heat can escape through leaky windows and poorly insulated windows and doors, making your furnace run harder. With some simple renovations around the house you will be surprised how much energy and money you can save. In fact, energy costs can be cut by 25-40%.

    Energy Assistance helps low-income South Dakotans pay for home heating costs and home improvements that help conserve energy. The program has two parts: Low Income Energy Assistance and Weatherization Assistance The Low Income Energy Assistance Program helps pay a family's heating costs by making payments directly to the energy supplier. It can also pay for emergency heating system repairs. The program is designed to supplement payments made by families who would otherwise be unable to pay the full cost of their home heating. The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low-income people pay for home insulation and other energy-saving improvements that will lower their heating bills. Local community agencies hire their own crews or contract with small businesses to perform the work and purchase materials from local vendors and manufacturers.
