Also the insulation of pipes is a profitable activity. Uninsulated pipes give off heat in rooms where no heat is required. For example, pipes give off heat on the ceiling in a space where no direct heat is demanded. The insulation of pipes then gives a direct financial return.

Open doors create drafts. Closers ensure that doors close automatically causing minimal heat loss. Another possibility is the use an airlock (at least four meters long) or a revolving door at the entrance of a building. By placing closers it is possible to save 5 to 10% on total energy use. As a shopkeeper you can save up to 43% on heating costs in winter, simply by placing a closer on your shops’ door.

High performance glass insulates much better than single or double glazing. HR glass is more expensive than standard double glazing, but this difference is earned back within two years, because your energy bill goes down.
