Sheet no.1 in the Free Range 'Energy Beyond Oil' Project's 'Energy' series of handouts looks at Homes and Efficiency – Understanding How We Use Energy.

Judging by the media, we might think that the greatest energy offender in the UK was our homes. This isn't the case. Our homes do account for a small, but significant, part of national energy consumption, but if we are to adapt to Peak Energy we must be able to see the scale of household consumption into the context of total consumption, and then work to reduce it in the future.
