61, Clay Lane, ROCHDALE, OL11 5RH Recommendations25 June 2008 RRN: 8907-9644-4820-2826-1683About the cost effective measures to improve this home's performance ratingsLower cost measures (typically up to £500 each)These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIYprojects. DIY is not always straightforward and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice beforecarrying out DIY improvements.1 Low energy lightingReplacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over thelifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energylight fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic EnergyEfficient Lighting Scheme fittings.Higher cost measures (typically over £500 each)2 Heating controls (room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves)A room thermostat will increase the efficiency of the heating system by enabling the boiler to switch off when no heatis required; this will reduce the amount of energy used and lower fuel bills. Thermostatic radiator valves should alsobe installed, to allow the temperature of each room to be controlled to suit individual needs, adding to comfort andreducing heating bills provided internal doors are kept closed. For example, they can be set to be warmer in theliving room and bathroom than in the bedrooms. Ask a competent heating engineer to install thermostatic radiatorvalves and a fully pumped system with the pump and the boiler turned off by the room thermostat. Thermostaticradiator valves should be fitted to every radiator except for the radiator in the same room as the room thermostat.Remember the room thermostat is needed as well as the thermostatic radiator valves, to enable the boiler to switchoff when no heat is required.3 Band A condensing boilerA condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel toheat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair orreplacement, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drainfor the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing theexisting boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). BuildingRegulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless theinstaller is registered with a competent persons scheme 1 , and can therefore self-certify the work for BuildingRegulation compliance. Ask a qualified heating engineer to explain the options.About the further measures to achieve even higher standardsFurther measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home.4 Solar water heatingA solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to pre-heat the hot water supply. This willsignificantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money. TheSolar Trade Association has up-to-date information on local installers and any grant that may be available.5 Solar photovoltaics (PV) panelsA solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste andno emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from anenergy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualifiedelectricians and any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and youshould check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority buildingcontrol department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme 1 ,andcantherefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Ask a suitably qualified electrician to explain theoptions.1 For information on competent persons schemes enter "existing competent person schemes" into an internet searchengine or contact your local Energy Saving Trust advice centre on 0800 512 012.Page 5 of 5
