Energy Conservation

Every day energy is needlessly wasted by Scottish homes and businesses. As
well as contributing to climate change this waste costs you money: around
£1.3bn is lost to the Scottish economy each year from wasted energy.

Prioritising energy saving and better building design would help save cash
and the planet. However, homes remain poorly insulated and policy makers
spend more time discussing how to produce energy instead of trying to avoid
producing it in the first place.

Friends of the Earth Scotland's work in the area of energy efficiency is in
partnership with the Association for the Conservation of Energy (ACE).

Together we're campaigning for

• tighter building regulations to ensure that buildings waste less
• energy, and action to ensure these tighter regulations are enforced,
• financial incentives for private and public sector organisations to install energy efficiency measures,
• government action to end fuel poverty in Scotland
• timely and complete implementation of European directives on energy efficiency and energy conservation,
• government support for householders installing energy efficiency measures
