Clarke “every house…ought to be double glazed”

According to an article on the Energy Saving Trust website, property expert George Clarke is urging homeowners to replace their single-glazed windows with double glazing.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, George Clarke, presenter of Channel 4 Television’s “The Home Show” and “The Restoration Man” explained: “When you look at the potential energy savings, every house in the country ought to be double glazed.”

Mr Clarke has provided advice to consumers about how they can reduce energy bills and make their day to day living more energy efficient. He added: “There is a perception that eco-designed homes are newbuilds, with a lot of hi-tech modern features. But all homes need to become eco-homes if we are to reduce carbon emissions in line with the Kyoto Protocol.”

The article posted by Mark Stephens on the Energy Saving Trust website highlighted how much energy, fuel and money can be saved by installing home improvements such as energy efficient double glazing and loft insulation.
