Factors affecting energy efficiency
• Use of Raw Materials – Embodied Energy• Location/Transport • Processes• Waste
![Page 6: A Roofers Guide to Sustainability The Yorkshire Independent Roof Training Group is pleased to acknowledge that the Roofers Guide to Sustainability Modular](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103015/5516bfc1550346f6208b57ac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Embodied Energy
• Embodied Energy is the total of all the energy required to produce goods or services, considered as if that energy was incorporated or 'embodied' in the product itself.

Are you on Standby?
• Leaving appliances on standby can account for between 9% and 16% of your electricity usage.
• Study by Energy Saving Trust and DEFRA
• Are you really happy that this amount of your energy bill is wasted?
