Energy Efficient Solutions for Households: The Demand Group
Demand Insulation's energy efficient solutions
The Demand Group offers a wide range of energy efficient solutions for households.
An insulated home offers a more comfortable living environment from the extremes of temperature year round and also from the noises, which assault people every day.
During the winter months when it is cold outside, the home loses up to 10° of warmth - through the ceilings and walls - this costs more for heating and increases carbon emissions. Up to 66% of heating costs can be saved with effective ceiling and wall insulation.
During summer months, heat enters the house through the roof, making air conditioning work harder to keep everyone cool. Insulation prevents up to 70% of this heat from entering the home, saves on operating costs and increases the life expectancy of air conditioning units.
By choosing and using thermal insulation rated to the geographic area – this is called the ‘R’ value – people can cut energy usage by up to 60%. This lowers costs and the household carbon footprint and increases the energy efficiency of the home.
Noises from industry, traffic and neighbours all contribute to stress and a lack of wellbeing. By using acoustic insulation products in ceilings and walls, the effects of noise from both within and outside the home can be reduced. Products are also available to deaden the noise from water and waste pipes and also for around windows and doors.
