Energy efficiency measures are worth more than £37bn to the British economy each year

Energy efficiency measures are worth more than £37bn to the British economy each year, new analysis from the Combined Heat and Power Association (CHPA) has been able to reveal.

As the Combined Heat and Power Association (CHPA) prepares to rebrand as the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE), the organization hopes to promote the financial benefits of measures that reduce energy demand, ranging from onsite power generation to district heat networks and demand response technologies, whereby businesses cut their energy use at short notice to help balance the grid.

The group’s new report will show that together, decentralised generation, demand response, and demand reduction measures are worth £37.2bn to the UK economy each year.

Energy efficiency measures (such as building energy management systems) have had a major contribution in slashing energy use.

HeatingSave can cut your energy usage by 20% to 30% with its energy management control, as its internal microprocessor constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system.

Using HeatingSave, simply choose the room temperature and the hot water you want, and when, and HeatingSave does the rest. It works with all central heating systems – oil, gas or coal – and links up with a PC to produce reports and graphs to fashion a powerful and complete energy management system.

The system is backed by the Carbon Trust and the Energy Savings Trust.
