MEASURE: Biomass stove with back boiler
Wood log or pellet stove with back boiler to provide heating and hot water
Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
ADVANTAGES
If fuel is truly sustainably sourced this can make significant CO2 savings, particularly where it heats more than one room and provides hot water
