Investment in energy efficiency measures across England cut by 58%, think thank claims
Public investment in warm homes and insulation across England has been cut by 58% since 2012, a recent report from think tank e3g has been able to suggest.
The organization says improving energy efficient measures should be made a national priority, because the country has the second worst record on cold weather-related deaths out of 30 European nations, with an average of around 32,000 excess winter deaths in the UK over the last five years.
The report suggests Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales currently spend four times, three times and twice as much per citizen as England on installing energy efficiency measures respectively.

HeatingSave – the best BMS (building management system) to help home owners cut their energy bills
Replacing your central heating clock with a HeatingSave energy and boiler management controller is the quickest way of beating those tariff rises and saving on energy costs, often paying for itself in less than a year but almost always in less than 3 years.
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.
