There are a lot of great points made int his article. I really feel like putting a little money into improvements that will make your home more energy efficient is really worth it.

I live in an incredibly drafy apartment and am getting ready to invest in cellular shades and things of that nature to try and insulate our home better… If everyone did things like that, the savings (both monetary and energy wise) would be amazing.

You know, my new home was actually build int 1964 and at that time they did not add in the insulation. So we did this and saved a lot of money, and the best of all, we could actually keep the rooms warm.

When energy saving priorities are being recommended most decisions are driven by cost considerations, namely “pay-back” as the above article shows, to quote; “We initially had to invest an extra 8 percent into [retrofitting] our headquarters, but quickly recovered our expenses in just a couple of years,” India-based hotel developer ITC Limited technical general manager H. C. Vinayaka said.

This retrofit installation provided an exceptional return on investment of circa 50%!!!

At a time of significant economic uncertainty and massive pressure to reduce one’s Carbon Footprint is there anywhere else better to invest?

Installing a Real Time Energy Management System like the Eniscope from Enigin PLC can enable companies to measure, control and eliminate unnecessary waste with laser-like precision providing pay-back on investments often within two years.
