An innovative project run by Transition West Bridgford, Nottingham called HOMES BEHAVING BADLY (HOBBs) has produced a report that shows householders how to slash energy bills.
AECB has released a report written by SuperHomer Andy Simmonds and David Olivier “Less is more – energy security after oil”. It features a case study where marginal costs of the main CO2 abatement measures are examined.
