It covers every aspect of the efficient consumption of energy in the home including the position of the dwelling, its method of construction, and the materials used; energy rating and the legal framework; insulation and U-values; windows and doors; conservatories, sunrooms, and loft conversions; heating and hot-water systems; lighting and making the best use of daylight; ventilation; renewable energy technologies; appliances, gadgets, and housekeeping; and the wider environmental issues including water economy and recycling.
