Introduction
While there are a number of factors influencing the attitudes and opinions towards
energy efficiency – most notably the increasing cost of energy and a rising social
conscience – it is likely to be legislative drivers that have the greatest impact on
changing behaviours and practices. Respective governments internationally are
introducing energy saving targets and effecting regulations to ensure they are met.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a global target set at the Earth Summit in
Kyoto in 1997 and finally ratified by 169 countries in December 2006 enabling the
