Energy efficiency

Our buildings use a huge amount of energy. Most energy in our homes is used by gas heating equipment. Nearly a quarter of the electricity used in the UK is used by household appliances and lighting. Many people have appliances such as washing machines and TVs, and new services such as digital TV and broadband increase our use of energy. How can we save energy in our homes?
