Including 8 closely related terms such as energy performance, minimum energy efficiency, and energy efficiency.
… lighting: Light Emitting Diode. A more energy efficient form of lighting when compared to standard bulbs. They do not get as hot and release more of their energy as light. Low Carbon Energy: Any energy source that does not produce a high amount of carbon dioxide emissions, preferentially producing none at all. MEES: Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard. Regulations that require a minimum energy…
… controls and fuel bills to fitting radiator reflectors and draught proofing. Energy Efficiency: The amount of useful energy produced per unit of fuel. The more energy produced or used, the higher the energy efficiency. For example, loft insulation keeps the useful hot air in the home, increasing the energy efficiency of the building. Energy Strategy: The overall plan devised by Islington…
… Council to improve energy efficiency whilst also reducing carbon emissions and fuel poverty. EPC Rating: Energy Performance Certificate is a rating scheme to assess the energy efficiency of a building, with A being the most efficient and G being the least. EV: Electric Vehicle. Any vehicle powered through recharging at an electrical point. Fuel Poverty: The ability of a household to afford…
…) or national level and as such are beyond the council’s control. b. A relaxation of energy efficiency standards for new buildings, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard, the removal of the mechanism for councils to create a carbon offset fund, or the withdrawal of support for electric vehicles or heat pumps would adversely impact our net zero carbon efforts. c. The decarbonisation of public transport…
