Residential buildings are responsible for consuming
27% of the total amount of energy consumed within
Europe and are the biggest source of global warming in the
world. This is a fact that has, until recently, been
overlooked by law-makers trying to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, who have concentrated their efforts on industry
and transport. The EU has now issued a new directive
which intends to cut carbon dioxide emissions from
buildings by 45 million tons before 2010. This means that
each of us can now save the planet from the comfort of our
own homes.
The first things we can do are simple and easy. We can
block up draughts, switch off unnecessary lights and make
sure taps are not left running. The next step requires more
