Recommendations
Make these changes to improve the property’s energy efficiency.
Recommended improvements are grouped by the estimated time it would take for the change to pay for itself. The assessor may also make additional recommendations.
Each recommendation is marked as low, medium or high. This shows the potential impact of the change on reducing the property’s carbon emissions.
| Recommendation | Potential impact |
|---|---|
| Replace tungsten GLS lamps with CFLs: Payback period dependent on hours of use. | Low |
| Consider replacing T8 lamps with retrofit T5 conversion kit. | High |
| Introduce HF (high frequency) ballasts for fluorescent tubes: Reduced number of fittings required. | Low |
| In some spaces, the solar gain limit defined in the NCM is exceeded, which might cause overheating. Consider solar control measures such as the application of reflective coating or shading devices to windows. | Medium |
| Recommendation | Potential impact |
|---|---|
| Add optimum start/stop to the heating system. | Low |
| Recommendation | Potential impact |
|---|---|
| The default heat generator efficiency is chosen. It is recommended that the heat generator system be investigated to gain an understanding of its efficiency and possible improvements. | Low |
| Some walls have uninsulated cavities - introduce cavity wall insulation. | Low |
| Some windows have high U-values - consider installing secondary glazing. | Low |
| Add weather compensation controls to heating system. | Low |
| Some solid walls are poorly insulated - introduce or improve internal wall insulation. | Low |
