There is a range of creative carbon reducing solutions for lovers of gas cooking, and those who hate the heat from blowy air-conditioners.
Practical paths to home electrification – quality of service matters too
Beware of the efficiency claims made by heat pump manufacturers
Without effective efficiency standards for heat pumps, householders are out in the cold on how to compare heat pump hot water systems.
Small portable electricity generators – inefficient, polluting and noisy
People in crisis and in developing countries are paying extremely high prices for small amounts of electricity while polluting our environment. We must do better.
Heat pumps can cut your energy costs by up to 90%. It’s not magic, just physics
Typically, a heat pump costs around half as much for heating as gas. If powered by solar, it can be up to 90% cheaper than gas.
Buying emission offsets has just become easier, and cheaper
With the UN now trading carbon offsets, how can you become a voluntary abater? We road-test the options.
Peak electricity demand and going off the grid: the cooking dilemma
Whether you are on or off the grid, it is important to minimise peak electricity demand.
