Insulating home


Efficient use of energy means to reduce the cost and amount of energy to be used in various products and services. Energy efficiency can be achieved by adopting more efficient eco-friendly technologies and processes. This results in a reduction of energy costs and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. The use of compact fluorescent lights (CFL) saves 67% energy and they may last 6 to 10 times longer than the incandescent lights. It is possible to maintain a comfortable temperature in the home by insulating it properly. It will reduce the cost of heating devices in winter and cool devices in summer. The use of advanced boilers and furnaces in the industry can save sufficient amount of energy in attaining high temperatures while burning less fuel.
