This "cultural" practice is going to have to stop

I was in Salisbury at the week end and the shops there were worse than in my town, fully open with the heating on full and apparently trying to heat the street!!

How will this "culture" ever change? It is again the exact opposite of energy saving and reduction of demand etc...]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104920#Comment_104920 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104920#Comment_104920 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 14:13:08 +0000 DamonHD http://www.closethedoor.org.uk/]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104939#Comment_104939 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104939#Comment_104939 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:53:00 +0000 SteamyTea
Was you testing out the range of the new car Tony?

I have noticed that Tesco stores down here have put in secondary automatic doors, not sure if this is a national thing or just in my nation.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104942#Comment_104942 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=104942#Comment_104942 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:44:48 +0000 Timber http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=105221#Comment_105221 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=105221#Comment_105221 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:22:19 +0000 StuartB http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=105224#Comment_105224 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=105224#Comment_105224 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:49:33 +0000 DamonHD

Who pays for all the heat that they waste --- WE DO! prices would be lower for all of us if they kept their doors closed.

I found this nice organisation -- www.closethedoor.org.uk their research shows that half the heat used is wasted in winter with the doors open.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=111526#Comment_111526 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=111526#Comment_111526 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 08:29:35 +0100 SteamyTea The mobile phone operators are looking to reduce the amount of energy their transmitters use, personally I think they are looking in the wrong place. I have no idea how many retail outlets there are, but say that there are 6 in each medium sized town, and they are 100m^2 each, that is 600m^2 with an energy use of probably 50W/m^2 (pure guess there), that is 263 MWh/y. How many towns in England with 6 shops, 400? that would be about 100 GWh/y.
I may go into my local store and see how many halogen spots are alight and see what sort of heating they have (I am always amazed how hard it is to find the heating system in shops (especially Chinese takeaways, they have a portable gas heater, that is usually lit, but no heat).
And we say that the out of town supermarkets are the baddies. Should write to Mary Portas and point this out.

Prices would be lower if we had lower property prices too. High fixed asset values are of no benefit to anyone.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=111539#Comment_111539 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7103&Focus=111539#Comment_111539 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 10:56:40 +0100 CWatters
