Summary: Evaluates the potential of reducing carbon emissions through domestic energy efficiency measures. It finds that in 2001, a cost effective savings potential of between nine and 17.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions per year existed for dwellings. This compares with an estimated figure of between 6.5 and 13.5 million tonnes for 2010. It is predicted that by 2050, nearly all of the potential from today's insulation measures will have been used up, thus the possibilities of using renewable sources of energy is considered.
