| Rank and Reward | ||||||
Unlike cars and appliances, people and houses are not rated on their energy performance. Explicitly comparing and rewarding different actions could change the public’s perception of energy saving. |

| Energy Rating | |||
| Why aren't houses labelled for energy efficiency like fridges? Soon houses on the market will be rated as part of the new Home Information Pack but there is still no incentive to take action. If mortgage lenders required borrowers to improve their house's energy rating, energy performance and running costs would be higher on home-improvers' agendas. The energy ratings of homes would be publicly displayed on for-sale signs, in estate agents' windows and on maps on home-buying websites. We could create a situation where it is socially desirable to show that you have a low-energy house. See more by clicking on the icons below the image. |
