520			_aWith buildings accounting for half of all energy use and carbon emissions in the UK, future houses will have to be energy-efficient. Presents the views of scientists and engineers on how homes, and the technologies inside them, will have to adapt. Looks at: changes to domestic heating; more accurate energy ratings; and the health issues of insulation and energy saving, such as the increase in house mites. The efficiency of energy-using devices must be maximised with smart controls before the renewable energy option becomes attractive. Solar energy installation currently costs more but saves as much energy as full use of efficient electrical appliances and low-energy lighting.
