How to reduce our Carbon Emissions regarding Housing Consumption?
There is multiple options we can use to reduce our Carbon Footprint regarding Housing Energy. Please find here “Some advices” we can all do already :
1) Install a Smart Meter as an Option:
Smart Meter are offering good possibility to monitor our Energy Consumption. We can see our consumption directly in the real time and with History regarding year after year.
We have possibility to define Threshold to verify our consumption is not getting too high. It permit to give us a better vision of our consumption at any time of the year.
The way to request a Smart Meter installation is not so much difficult. By simply giving a call to our Energy Provider they generally can do all the necessity to change our Electrical and Gaz Meter to have a Smart Meter compatible. It’s Generaly for free.
2) Switch our “Energy Provider” to “Sustainable Energy Provider”:
One of the most important step we can do in objective to reduce our Carbon Foot print is to switch to a Sustainable Energy Provider. We can find a comparison list of provider in Consumer Magazine Website “Which” :
Comparing Provider is also possible in “Ethical Consumer Magazine” it permit to give us a second opinion regarding a list of Provider Focusing more on Sustainability Efficiency :
Regarding the amount of Money we expend for energy every year all our money is directly invest in Win Turbin Farm and Solar Field generating Green Energy with 0 Carbon foot print Impact. That’s the interest there is not so much side effect we do not see the difference the Energy is just directly Green with 0 impact Carbon. If you think about it there is not so much necessity to wait before to switch.
3) “Housing Heating” what is possible Today?:
When we verify our personal Carbon Emission regarding “Heating” One of our Biggest CO2 Carbon Emission (Is from “Gaz” and “Fioul” because they are both in “Fossil Energy” category).
(“Electric Heating” is generating less CO2 in total because Country are already mixing the way they produce Energy by increasing “Solar” Panel or “Wind” Farm.)
If we cannot change from Gaz Eating to Electric Heating the Carbon emitted depend then of the consumption of our Gaz Boiler. New version of Gaz Boiler named “Condensing Boiler” are design to be more sustainable Boiler than previous generation, They generated Heat and Retrieve the Heat from previous Consumption, so the Energy Expense get more efficient and less consuming in the end.
But if we want and even to do a biggest step in our “CO2” Emission reduction, one of the best way is to switch from “Boiler Heating” to “Heat Pump“.
“Heat Pump” in term of Price do not change so much related to the Energy Consume. (It’s seems last year 2023 the cost total of the Energy ( The bill at the end of the years) was the similare between HeatPump and Gaz Boiler). The Real interest is the reduction of the CO2 Emission : An Heat Pump permit to reduce our personal Foot Print from “70%” regarding Housing it’s one of the best option we have from now.
Some of Energy provider are already proposing some “Special Offer” helping us to switch more easily to Heat Pump. It doesn’t reduce the Bill but it permit to reduce our Carbon Foot Print from 70%.
