Sustainability Month: How not to waste electricity

Kya deLongchamps fights on in our Sustainability Month with an empowering attack on our blithe waste of electricity.

INVESTING in our homes’ energy performance has to become as important to us as architecture and aesthetics. Energy-efficiency and sustainable changes should be seen as a portion of determined, annual home improvements. We can get to a low-carbon lifestyle in manageable, phased changes — in just the same way as we would plan to paint the exterior of the house, or in time, to add a conservatory, upgrade the car or tile the hall.
