A simple NY project to generate just ten percent of the energy your home needs could save you hundreds of pounds<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green home improvements<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people buying a new home will take account of likely energy costs. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) make it easy to understand a home\u2019s energy efficiency. If you carry out home improvements to generate or save energy you will make your home more attractive to some buyers and add value to the property.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people think of solar power as the main form of green energy, but advances in technology mean there are many sources available to the homeowner.

Moving to renewable energy sources is something of a new frontier, and you will find lots of help and advice available. Forums and blogs find lots of help and advice available. Forums and blogs are a great place to get in touch with people interested in environmental Issues, and you\u2019ll meet people Wiling to environmental Issues, and you\u2019ll meet people Wiling to share ideas plans and designs for green energy home improvements.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easier and cheaper to install renewable energy generators as you build a property, and they can be incorporated into the design more efficiently. If you build an extension or undertake a large home improvement project, think about how you can introduce green energy generation.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1*_LgIaXmWbON00gzwZMSROQ.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retro-fitting generators requires a little more innovation,but don\u2019t be put off if you have an older property. but don\u2019t be put off if you have an older property.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sun, wind and water are the key sources of renewable energy for most homeowners.
