Draughtproofing and Insulation is a new book by Tony Cowling, GREN Treasurer and local energy activist, to be published on 26th September.

Publicity says: "Many households will be paying 10–15% more than they should on their heating bill because of draughts, and when a lack of insulation is also an issue, that figure goes up. However, many draughts are easily fixed, and for a little outlay a considerable sum can be saved. Insulation can often be installed by the homeowner and lead to a substantial reduction in heating bills. This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of draughtproofing and insulation, with principles and techniques that can be applied in all homes.”

It will be available in paperback from the publisher https://www.crowood.com/products/draughtproofing-and-insulation-by-tony-cowling or in paperback or Kindle format from Amazon (  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C4FJ7V2C ).
