Tip of the day

Plan ahead and try "sit boiling" which is great for saving energy in the kitchen. Just boil your veggies, pasta or rice for a few minutes on full heat, remove from the hob but keep covered, and leave to finish cooking in the hot water. You may have to experiment a bit to get the timings right, but once you get the hang of it, you will wonder why you didnt try it before!

energy surveying, modelling and analysis

If you need to make buildings energy efficient or decide if they're right for renewables, we can help you assess the real-life implications and costs through:

  • Evaluations of different options, including the role of householder behaviours and attitudes
