Why should one bother with all these energy chiselling measures?
I am drawing on the gmagazine for some inspiration here. It appears from here and many other sources that electricity is getting a lot more expensive. The past history of cheap electricity for homes and businesses, based on brown coal is in the process of passing. So it will soon be financially efficient to measure and manage your electricity carefully. The age of cheap plentiful brown coal is passing. It is likely to be reprocessed for export markets. The government is moving to preference renewable sources, like Hydro, Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Bio energy and Ocean both tidal and wave power sources: these currently supply close to 7% of Australia’s need. Australia has large reserves of Natural gas and these can be argued are a fairly clean fuel. The Australian government Renewable Energy Target is 20% by 2020. In New Zealand, they are aiming for 90% by 2035. This can only be achieved with a likely Carbon Tax and higher energy prices, which make the renewables energy sources financially viable.
Most older homes could be rated as two to three star energy efficiency: I anticipate many home owners will be wanting to retrofit their homes to much higher energy star ratings. In the UK, new homes need to rank at ten star, everyone regards double glazing as deriguer. I have recently, made many such measures to improve the efficiency at my home.
