Cheap double glazing 'can help reduce carbon footprint'

Double glazing can make a home more energy efficientHomeowners should install cheap double glazing to make their property greener. Simple steps, such as installing cheap double glazing, are a way of bringing homes into the 21st century and reducing the carbon footprint, according to an expert.

Professor Nigel Brandon, director of the Energy Futures Lab at Imperial College London, explained to Rapid Online that simple choices, such as cheap double glazing, can make a big difference to becoming more energy-efficient.

"How you choose to heat your home, for example, has a major effect on your carbon footprint," he told the news provider.

Mr Brandon went on to suggest that homeowners consider their source of power, and urged them to consider renewable energies such as wind and solar power in a bid to conserve power.

Mary Geddes, from Cambridge Carbon Footprint, recently told the Daily Telegraph that cheap double glazing is one way of making a home energy-efficient, especially for those people who would otherwise not know where to start.
