- Saving Energy
- Loft insulation
- Fibreglass wool reduces conduction through the ceiling into roof spaces
- Hot water tank jacket
- reduces conduction
- Double glazing
- Two layers of glass with gap between reduces conduction
- Draught-proofing
- strips of foam and plastic around doors and windows reduces convection
- Thick curtains
- reduces conduction and radiation through windows
- Cavity walls and insulation
- Two layers of brick with gap between helps reduce conduction. Insulating foam between bricks stops convection too.
- Loft insulation
