“They continue to make smaller changes for years, but in their heads and hearts want to make a big difference.
While 19% haven’t conducted the necessary levels of research into a preferred course of action, to justify making any changes. “With the expected payback period for some home improvements clocking in at over a decade, these larger options may be overlooked.The knowledge gap is not just restricted to specific energy enhancements as a third of homeowners don’t know what an Energy Performance Certificate is, while 51% are unaware of their own home’s EPC rating.Think about upgrading. For bigger budgets this can mean going from single-glazed to double or upgrading your old double-glazing to triple-glazed.
Poor wall insulation accounts for an estimated 35-40% loss of heat in homes so it’s worth investigating. That 20-year-old boiler you keep having repaired instead of replacing? Now could be the time to upgrade it to something greener. They are about the size of a fridge-freezer, so – as with all retrofitting – you should carry out your own checks to determine whether it’s the right option for your needs and your property size.Solar power is a renewable and infinite energy source which creates no harmful gas emissions; as long as the sun continues to shine, energy will be released, plus, they still work on gloomy days.

Population mental health improves with increasing access to treatment: evidence from a dynamic modelling analysis - BMC PsychiatryBackground Multiple studies indicate that the prevalence of mental disorders in high-income countries has remained stable or increased despite substantial increases in the provision of care, leading some authors to question the effectiveness of increasing access to current treatments as a means of improving population mental health. Methods We developed a system dynamics model of mental disorder incidence and treatment-dependent recovery to assess two potential explanations for the apparent failure of increasing treatment provision to reduce mental disorder prevalence: 1) an increase in the individual-level risk of disorder onset; and 2) declining effectiveness of care resulting from insufficient services capacity growth. Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods were used to fit the model to data on the prevalence of high to very high psychological distress in Australia for the period 2008–2019. Results Estimates of yearly rates of increase in the per capita incidence of high to very high psychological distress and the proportion of patients recovering when treated indicate that the individual-level risk of developing high to very high levels of distress increased between 2008 and 2019 (posterior probability | 0.999) but provide no evidence for declining treatment effectiveness. Simulation analyses suggest that the prevalence of high to very high psychological distress would have decreased from 14.4% in 2008 to 13.6% in 2019 if per capita incidence had not increased over this period (prevalence difference 0.0079, 95% credible interval 0.0015–0.0176). Conclusions Our analyses indicate that a modest but significant effect of increasing access to mental health care in Australia between 2008 and 2019 was obscured by a concurrent increase in the incidence of high to very high psychological distress.
