Seems like Western Europe is getting up to speed with standardized insulation. People are monitoring heat leaks in buildings etc.
Two things: 1) I wonder how much energy could be "saved" with proper insulation. Per Country, per planet. 2) Insulation seems like a human sense, by that I mean, whenever I've lived in an old, stone wall house, I enjoyed the delay in temperature. It's still refreshing when the sun hits hard, and still mildly warm when cold settles.
More efficient lifestyle and better quality of life ? I'd sign.
Partly inspired by this thread, I read a couple of EU reports and realised that 50% of energy consumption in EU goes to heating and cooling. That is huge. Of course it includes industrial heating, but that is 18% in total (~third of 50%).
Clearly, there is lot to win here,with existing insulation techniques. we could do a lot in a short-term with existing technologies, it's mostly policy and financing issue.
