How better home insulation cuts energy costs for households and the grid
By
Gill Armstrong
Summary
This article explains how household insulation acts like a 'giant blanket' to retain heat in winter and keep homes cool in summer, reducing energy demand. It argues that while policymakers focus on increasing energy production (e.g., renewables), they have neglected demand-side strategies like insulation. The piece positions insulation as one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to lower household energy bills and reduce strain on the electricity grid.
