John Newson in Birmingham has reduced the energy demand of his Victorian end-of-terrace house by 70 per cent, and the carbon footprint the same, through a combination of measures that could be applied to any house. He has acheived a high energy performance rating of the property and increased its value. His water bill is down by £80 a year.
