New research by Schneider Electric shows that almost 9 in 10 of British homeowners (89 per cent) regard energy efficiency and energy savings as the most important factor when carrying out home improvements.
The survey of 2,000 UK consumers conducted in October this year, highlighted the fact that energy efficiency improvements rank higher on respondents’ list of priorities than improvements for comfort, size or entertainment, such as extensions and multimedia systems.
Nico van de Merwe, VP of Home and Distribution at Schneider Electric, said in Electrical Contracting News, “Individuals must continue to adopt new sustainable features to make their home energy efficient and tackle climate change, with specific help from government initiatives such as The Green Homes grant to help along the way.”
