After a few years hoping home owners would recognise the threat from increasing energy cost and the sheer complacency of doing nothing in the face of climate change, I reset up my next generation technology business to deliver a wide range of interventions with heat recovery, sometimes better glazing and refitting doors and frames or new ones, as part of insulation, then sealing the building are completed. Two ads in a 16,000 circulation magazine. One inquiry. Just one.

Look in a mirror after you reread Bonnie's article then make the resolution to stop buying energy from oil and gas once and for all. Most of the insulation is DIY. Then you have to get imaginative and ventilate or you create humidity. Need help? You can ask Bonnie where to find me. Before you say you can't afford it, take energy readings weekly for the next three or four weeks. That'll tell you you that you can't afford not to. Happy New Year

We've done what we can to make our house more energy efficient within the constraints of a conventional British modern house. To cope with moisture, we installed the same type of heat recovery ventilation you would find in Passivhaus. It works. It's uncommon in the UK. I can understand why you're having difficulty getting people to take the leap.
