Recommendations
Recommendation | Potential impact on carbon emissions |
---|---|
Improve insulation on HWS storage. | Low |
Replace 38mm diameter (T12) fluorescent tubes on failure with 26mm (T8) tubes. | Low |
Replace tungsten GLS lamps with CFLs: Payback period dependent on hours of use. | Low |
Add time control to heating system. | Medium |
Consider replacing heating boiler plant with high efficiency type. | High |
Add optimum start/stop to the heating system. | Medium |
Consider replacing T8 lamps with retrofit T5 conversion kit. | Low |
The default heat generator efficiency is chosen. It is recommended that the heat generator system be investigated to gain an understanding of its efficiency and possible improvements. | High |
In some spaces, the solar gain limit defined in the NCM is exceeded, which might cause overheating. Consider solar control measures such as the application of reflective coating or shading devices to windows. | Medium |
Some walls have uninsulated cavities - introduce cavity wall insulation. | High |
Add local temperature control to the heating system. | Medium |
Add weather compensation controls to heating system. | Medium |
Recommendation | Potential impact on carbon emissions |
---|---|
Some loft spaces are poorly insulated - install/improve insulation. | High |
Add local time control to heating system. | Medium |
Introduce HF (high frequency) ballasts for fluorescent tubes: Reduced number of fittings required. | Low |
Some solid walls are poorly insulated - introduce or improve internal wall insulation. | High |
Consider replacing heating boiler plant with a condensing type. | High |
Carry out a pressure test, identify and treat identified air leakage. Enter result in EPC calculation. | High |
Recommendation | Potential impact on carbon emissions |
---|---|
Consider installing building mounted wind turbine(s). | Low |
Consider installing solar water heating. | Low |
Consider installing PV. | Low |
