Emissions up to an average of around 2.1 billion pounds per year can be saved for around 20 years
So, when we are aware of these things, why not head on the way to conserving energy!
New features introduced to the home energy saving scheme
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) will introduce two new features to the Home Energy Saving (HES) scheme, designed to further empower consumers, first by guiding them on suitable upgrade works and secondly informing them of the impact of works undertaken.
Furthermore, grants are provided to homeowners for insulation and heating system upgrades and continues to prove very popular with over 58,000 homeowner applications approved since the scheme was launched in March 2009.
In addition a Building Energy Rating (BER) is to become an integral part of all grant applications under the HES scheme, whereby homeowners must undertake a BER to measure the impact of works undertaken. This will give homeowners a thorough and objective assessment of the energy performance of their home following upgrade works, including a BER certificate with a A-G performance rating. The first such BER assessment will attract grant aid of €100.
At the time of completing the BER, the assessor will also provide an estimate of the energy performance of the home before upgrade works, based upon the pre-works condition of the house. This will inform the homeowner of the effectiveness of the upgrade works in terms of energy and CO2 emissions improvements.
For more informaiton about energy assessments and how we can assist in relation to all EU EPBD legislation and compliance for your project please contact Sytnegra Consulting Ltd today.

Do CFL Bulbs Really Save Money? Explore Energy Savings in Your Condo or Home
Energy costs are becoming more and more of a deciding factor that home buyers weigh in on when choosing to buy a particular home or condo over another. You can get a quick snapshot of the current owner’s energy use and monthly expense by contacting the local utility companies. As a new owner you can challenge yourself to improve the home’s carbon footprint by exploring energy saving alternatives. One simple and quick way to get started is to consider converting to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. CFL bulbs are well known for conserving energy. They also are designed to last at least six times longer.
However, CFL bulbs cost a lot more upfront.
Aside from purely environmental considerations, do they actually save money? Possibly even more to the point, do they really last?
For weeks, I was skeptical. In my experience as a homeowner, I have found that some light bulbs from the same package last longer than others. This is especially true for bulbs placed inside ceiling fixtures. Heat gets entrapped inside the fixtures where there is nowhere for it to escape. Some break even before they even get connected properly within a socket. It seems there could be reasons NOT to invest in them if the objective is to save a few cents worth of electricity each month.
To investigate, this week I sampled a package of four CFL spiral bulbs at a home improvement store. The box cost $7.88, compared to $2.39 for a set of incandescent bulbs with the same brand. Both products were designed to generate approximately 800 lumens of light. Interestingly, the CFL bulbs came in a new, smaller “T2″ size, meaning they are designed to fit inside most fixtures. After I noticed that, I read the fine print on the packaging: to my surprise, the manufacturer actually offered a two-year replacement warranty. Changing a set of three bulbs in a ceiling fixture once every two years instead of once every four months? Sign me up!
To calculate possible monthly savings, consider that the incandescent bulb consumes 60 watts, the CFL, 13. After subtracting the difference, convert that to kilowatt hours (kWh) by multiplying by 0.001, as a kWh is 1,000 watts operating for one hour. The current price per kWh in my geographical area, including taxes, is 10.1705 cents. Let us say you rely on a 3-bulb ceiling fixture to provide light for an average of four hours a day. Within 30 days, you’ll save $1.72 from this fixture alone—and more if you do much work from home.
Parting Tip #1: CFL bulbs do go on sale! Watch for them within ads from nearby home improvement stores.
Tip #2: As you install the product into fixtures, hold the bulb from its ballast, which is the middle plastic portion, instead of from its glass. Otherwise, the extra force on the glass can cause damage.
Tip #3: CFL bulbs CANNOT be thrown away. However, there are all kinds of recycling programs in place, including some located within home improvement stores. Check the Internet for many more options.
Sky’s Frogmen go frog-mobbing for Earth Day
FOLLOW SKYS FROGMEN TIPS AND SAVE £2000 A YEAR Taking a daily shower instead of a bath can save £35 a year in energy bills Cycling around 20 miles to work instead of taking a train will save 40 kilos of green house gases a month. Thats the same as £88 off your energy bill. Turning a household thermostat down by 1°C will save £65 each year and on an average gas bill. Turning off unused lights in the home will save you £15 whilst swapping all of the lights in the home to energy saving ones will save £45 per year By fitting a high efficiency boiler and improving household heating controls, you can save £275 a year on energy bills and of 1.2 tonnes of green house gases Cycling to work from Zone 3 to Zone 1 in London, instead of travelling by Tube, would save you around £1500 a year on travel bills www.earthdaycounts.co.uk Sources: Environment Agency / Stop Global Warming Organisation / Department for Transport / www.dothegreenthing.com / British Gas / Energy Saving Trust

Combine Energy Saving Tips With the Magniwork
Combine Energy Saving Tips With the Magniwork
When I started to use the “Magniwork Generators”, I was already doing everything possible to keep my energy bills as low as possible. But somehow, things were still more than I was willing to pay -hence the Magniwork Generator Plans.
But after i began using the free energy created by teh Magniwork generator, the difference was VERY noticeable.
And I know plenty of people that ONLY use the Magniwork energy -without doing anything else to cut down there electricity bills. And they are quite happy with the results – but why stop there?
So here are some very easy -yet completely effective tips and idea’s for cutting back on our energy bills -do all these on a consistent basis, and you will not believe how much money you will save.
If you use space heaters to help heat the house in the winter time -think of unplugging one of them.See, space heaters are actually more costly then many think. Electricity is more costly than gas -so use the space heater less and you will efinitely save money right away. Replace incadescent light bulbs with the CFL light bulbs. The CFL’S are cost efficient and because they do not need to be changed NEARLY as often as the regular light bulbs -AND they use alot less energy in the process. Gigve these CFL’s a chance – many just need to take that first step , and after that everything takes care of itself. For those that take showers -which is around 90% of us – take shorter showers. I know from my own personal experience, that rarely did I actually NEED all the time in the shower that i used to take. And by only staying in the shower for the time I needed, I was able to cut down shower times from 25 all the way down to 10 minutes!And if you can helpit – DO NOT take baths -they use WAY more water. Use a programmable thermostat. This will ensure that you never use more heat than you need. I know that alot of us already have those -but if you dont, think about getting one. They are cheap and VERY EASY to install. I think the Home Depot will send out soemone to install it in need be.
These are just a few of my favorite tips for saiving money on electric bills. All of them can be done without having to sacrifice much of anything.
