Traduction de «Meilleure isolation » (Français → Anglais) :

Better insulation for houses, more efficient energy transport and more efficient appliances ensure a lower energy bill for consumers and businesses.

The recent record highs in the oil price, often backed up by national support programmes and improved insulation, have also led to a further ‘efficiency wave’.

Better insulation would cut the residential energy consumption down by up to 5 %.

(da) improvements to building shells and structures aimed at achieving summer comfort at no or low energy consumption, such as technologies to control fluxes of heat and solar radiation (higher thermal insulation of walls, low emissivity and solar control glazing, ventilated roofs with radiant barriers), technologies for the connection of buildings to low temperature environmental sources in summer (coupling with soil through air or water circulation, night ventilation accompanied with increased thermal mass); improvements to building shells and structures aimed at achieving winter comfort (thicker walls, roof and basement insulation, w ...[+++]indow frames with low transmittance and low infiltration rate, low emissivity glazing);

Fuel efficiency of cars dramatically increased[5]. Awareness of the importance of rational energy use in buildings has given rise to better insulation.

They can choose which energy source they use to heat their homes, and whether to invest in better insulation.
