Insulating the UK’s solid walled homes can cut energy bills by 30% new research shows

Insulating the UK’s eight million solid walled homes has the potential to reduce energy bills by up to 30 per cent.

That’s according to new research carried out by Leeds Beckett University, The University of Salford and Loughborough University. 

The research also revealed that insulation brings with it many benefits to homes and households, including:

🏠 being cheaper to run
🏠 feeling warmer in winter
🏠 having less chance of condensation
🏠 cooler in summer
🏠 better air quality

The universities’ combined findings serve to reinforce the strong belief that insulating the country’s solid walled properties is crucial if the Government are to achieve their domestic energy efficiency and net zero targets.

The £3m research project undertaken by the three universities was one of the largest studies of its kind within the UK.
