Household Sector Responsible for 40MtC/year (30% UK total) Responsible for 40MtC/year (30% UK total) Space & water heating 75% Space & water heating 75% Lights & appliances 25% Lights & appliances 25% Scope to deliver 9MtC of cost-effective savings by 2020 Scope to deliver 9MtC of cost-effective savings by 2020 7.5MtC from measures tackling space and water heating 7.5MtC from measures tackling space and water heating 1.5MtC from appliances 1.5MtC from appliances Two types of decisions impact on energy efficiency investment Two types of decisions impact on energy efficiency investment (in addition to low or no cost behavioural measures) (in addition to low or no cost behavioural measures) One-off measures driven by energy saving One-off measures driven by energy saving Eg retrofit insulation or heating controlsEg retrofit insulation or heating controls Purchase or replacement of fittings/appliances Purchase or replacement of fittings/appliances Decision to purchase not driven by energy savingDecision to purchase not driven by energy saving But scope to purchase high efficiency optionBut scope to purchase high efficiency option Potential carbon emission similar but levers to influence decisions are very different Potential carbon emission similar but levers to influence decisions are very different

Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) Electricity and gas suppliers are required to achieve targets for the promotion of improvements in domestic energy efficiency. Electricity and gas suppliers are required to achieve targets for the promotion of improvements in domestic energy efficiency. Environmental aim Environmental aim will contribute to the Climate Change Programme by cutting greenhouse gas emissions will contribute to the Climate Change Programme by cutting greenhouse gas emissions Social aim Social aim EEC will also contribute to the alleviation of fuel poverty. EEC will also contribute to the alleviation of fuel poverty. 50% of energy savings must be focussed on a priority group of low- income consumers in receipt of certain benefits and tax credits/pension credit. 50% of energy savings must be focussed on a priority group of low- income consumers in receipt of certain benefits and tax credits/pension credit. Eleven suppliers were set a target of 62 TWH in 2002 apportioned according to number of customers Eleven suppliers were set a target of 62 TWH in 2002 apportioned according to number of customers 1 M homes loft/cavity wall insulation 1 M homes loft/cavity wall insulation 750,000 energy efficient appliances 750,000 energy efficient appliances 450,000 condensing gas boilers 450,000 condensing gas boilers 36 M low energy lamps 36 M low energy lamps All obligated suppliers met their energy saving targets or went beyond them All obligated suppliers met their energy saving targets or went beyond them

Several key challenges Current programmes deliver their savings through social housing Current programmes deliver their savings through social housing By end of decade the improvement of social housing insulation will be exhausted By end of decade the improvement of social housing insulation will be exhausted Need to find ways to deliver to owner-occupiers & private landlords Need to find ways to deliver to owner-occupiers & private landlords Lack of focus on behaviour/ how to incentivise behavioural change Lack of focus on behaviour/ how to incentivise behavioural change Reduce heating hours, internal temperature, lighting levels and appliance usage Reduce heating hours, internal temperature, lighting levels and appliance usage Current physical measures will reach saturation point early to mid next decade Current physical measures will reach saturation point early to mid next decade Need to draw in new physical measures Need to draw in new physical measures Solid wall insulation, low carbon technologies, high insulation productsSolid wall insulation, low carbon technologies, high insulation products
