MEASURE: Solar water heating
Installation of solar water heating panels to provide hot water.
Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
ADVANTAGES
Easy to install; minimal impact on building; visible so promotes user awareness of energy use and virtuous circle of improving energy habits; relatively simple technology; reversible; now commonplace and reasonably-well-understood technology; low technical risk (as long as structural load checks are carried out)
