The Sustainable Energy Association’s Manifesto, published this month, has set out ‘ambitious recommendations to all political parties for how the UK economy could save billions by placing buildings at the heart of energy policy’.
The SEA uses the Government’s own online calculator to demonstrate how an ambitious programme of insulating buildings, and producing more energy directly from buildings themselves could net savings to the economy averaging £12.1bn per year from now until 2050.
This is equivalent to a £189 saving per year, every year, for every UK citizen, according to a statement released by the SEA.
