Why did the energy consumption fal
More energy efficient supplies
LED Lightbulbs
Eco kettle
Plug power meter
Smart plugs
Covid 19 restrictions reduced energy consumption
Rise of environmentalism
Awareness of our carbon footprint and efforts by the Energy Saving Trust and other international organisations such as the United Nations to encourage to use less energy. - Governments help raise awareness and so do individuals.
A stronger renewable generation
Renewable energies such as wind energy, solar energy and wave energy.
The EU Government - The EU has a target of reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. It is too encouraging reductions in energy use.
EU 'energy label' details the energy efficient of products such as light bulbs, refrigerators and washing machines, giving consumers more information about energy use.
In 2011, the EU adopted the Energy Efficiency Plan, which encourages industry to produce more energy-efficient houses, encourages industry to produce more energy-efficient products and promotes the use of 'smart metres' for customers to assess their own energy use to enable them to make savings.
Energy Efficient Buildings
Buildings in England and Wales had to go through a Energy Performance Certification before they were sold or let. This identifies how efficient the building is in its use of energy.
One of the CERT - Carbon Emissions Reduction Target, was that 5.3 million homes received free loft insulation and 2.6 million had their cavity walls filled.
people are living in smaller homes and more shared accommodation, reducing the use for energy.
UK Government
Government insulation policy is one reason why the energy consumption fell. Under CERT (Carbon Emissions Reduction Target), which is one of the large scale energy efficiency schemes. 5.3 million homes receive free loft insulation and 2.6 million had their cavity walls filled. The scheme finished in 2012.
Due to new standards set by the government, since 2005 all new boilers have to have at least a B efficiency rating, national grid thinks that this could account for more than 40 percent of the overall drop in household energy demand.
Since 2007, buildings in England and Wales have had to undergo an Energy Performance Certification before they are sold or let. This identifies how efficient the building is in its use of energy.
