Managing energy in Ireland

Today, I've done a full energy assessment on our house, all according to the stuff published by Sustainable Energy Ireland, the state agency responsible for the energy future of the country, and the EU DEAP directive. It didn't turn out that well, as expected. The final measure ended up with 293 kWh/m2 which is pretty bad. The main causes are single-glazed windows and not enough insulation in the attic. To make things a little better, I'll try to shop around town tomorrow and get a new set of thermostats and timers to improve the performance of the boiler.
