Renovating a home via new Energy Features

Given the expectation that energy cost could double over the next two years, many home owners will be looking for energy saving features. Given the current interest free green home loans scheme, many home renovators would be leaping to add these features while the scheme lasts. The solar panel power on the roof scheme proved so popular, it blew a half billion hole in the Federal budget and was scrapped.  All homes when offered for sale or rent will be required to be  Energy Rated  for efficiency levels. This has been mandatory for a while in ACT and Queensland. Below, I enclose some of my easy energy saving suggestions.
1   Paint the roof with a special insulating white paint. Just recently released there is such a paint and it is used in the USA. Its called Solacoat.

2   Chose home ceramic tiles over corrugated iron or concrete tiles for the roof.
3   Install major thermal mass into the home, as a way to moderate the temperature fluctuations.

4 Create home  zones living areas in the home
5 Insulate home ceilings as well as the walls. Install skylights to let in  light to the central part of the home.

6 Double glazed the windows. This can be remarkably effective, and not too expensive either.

7 Plan the home for optimal North facing windows warming the living zones.
8 Fit outside home blinds or shutters to protect the windows, which transmit so much heat  and cold.
9 Ask your energy supplier for a home Energy Assessment. It might even be free,as they want to up sell you to more products. Its all quite easy to be home renovating , for the environment, might even pay for itself with lower bills!
