Thermal loft insulation. This decreases the amount of energy lost through conduction.
. Turning off lights and water if you're not using them
. Not wasting any electricity
. Using energy efficient appliances]]> 2021-09-29 10:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/p16vlvsacw7lq24l/wish/1777591067 Double-glazed windows (conservation) - Feryal https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/p16vlvsacw7lq24l/wish/1777591380 Vacuum in between two panes of glass which means that convection and conduction cannot occur and cause that transfer of energy reducing the thermal conductivity of the glass.

Double glazing uses two panes of glass separated by a layer of argon gas. The argon gas is a poor conductor of heat therefore keeps warm air from escaping]]> 2021-09-29 10:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/p16vlvsacw7lq24l/wish/1777592046
