2 March 2010: Waterwise welcomes innovative government plans for energy efficient homes – but regrets missed opportunity of including water
The water efficiency NGO, Waterwise today welcomed the new government strategy “Warm Homes, Greener Homes: A strategy for Household Energy Management for Britain”. The strategy sets out plans to improve the energy efficiency of every home in Britain by 2030, focussing first on kickstarting insulation and 7 million eco-upgrades. However, Waterwise lamented the failure to include water efficiency in the plans – which can contribute cheaply and effectively to both tackling climate change and adapting to it. Waterwise sets out below opportunities to build on this opportunity as the new strategy is taken forward.
