The document discusses tools for reducing energy demand such as the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation programs in the UK. It notes that while tools for demand reduction are being developed, the key challenge is generating demand for their use. It suggests reframing questions around low carbon contributions rather than emissions cuts. Motivating savings rather than waste is also discussed. Setting energy efficient exemplars in normal homes, not just super homes, could help make low carbon living normal. Reinvigorating citizens as active influencers rather than passive consumers is presented as important for increasing demand.

HVAC to Home Performance - A Quick Business CaseMike Rogers
The document discusses how HVAC companies can benefit from expanding into home performance contracting by addressing the root causes of issues in homes. It notes that most homes have problems like drafts, poor insulation, and air leakage that cause comfort and indoor air quality issues for homeowners. By performing comprehensive home assessments and diagnostics to identify these root problems, HVAC companies can offer larger, more profitable whole-home solutions that provide better results and customer satisfaction than just replacing HVAC equipment. This differentiated home performance approach also helps reduce seasonality for contractors and provides more revenue opportunities.
