It is no surprise that Kevin McCloud is spearheading the campaign to make as many homes in Great Britain operate in a more efficient way. With 26 million homes in Britain accounting for 27% of the total carbon emissions it is no wonder Kevin is campaigning for better Government policies relating to this issue.

Old houses need to be refurbished in order to bring them up to present day Building Regulation requirements. When a house is running efficiently it is beneficial to the homeowner as well as the environment resulting in a win-win situation for everybody.

Over the last 10 years the insulation in roofs has changed dramatically especially where loft conversions are concerned. When a loft conversion is carried out by professionals it ends up being the warmest part of the house, requiring the least amount of energy to keep heated. This is even apparent in houses we would typically class as nearly new homes; this is how much insulation has improved over the years.

Knauf insulation is assisting in the refurbishment of a Victorian property in Manchester as part of a drive to make people aware of what can be achieved to live in total comfort, whilst reducing the running cost of a home and being enviromentally friendly.

In Kevin McCloud's own words "Live in a low energy house that is cheaper to run, more comfortable to live in and massively reducing your carbon emissions. Join my campaign to be part of the Great British Refurb" sponsored by Knauf Insulation and Keepmoat.
