Scousers and renters are top energy-savers
…Brummies and homeowners
waste the most
30th June 2015

Liverpool people have emerged as the top energy-savers in a survey of the major cities around the British Isles conducted on behalf of Safestyle Windows.

Birmingham came bottom of the poll, followed by London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff, and more surprisingly, twice as many property renters as homeowners are likely to turn off the heating before leaving the house.

Nationally, 72% said they cared about global warming, with the figure rising to nearly 83% in Dublin, yet 42% nationally did not believe they could do anything more to help the environment. Divided by age, 35-44 year olds claim to care the most about human impact on global warming (79%) while more than half of 18-24s say they don’t care that much. The report adds that many of the youngsters were students on all-inclusive rental contracts, leaving their ;landlords to pick up the bill!

Safestyle Head of Marketing Phil Berry said: “Energy saving is always something we’re continually looking to improve and it’s always interesting to see people attitudes towards it.

“More often than not, our customers are more interested in how much of an impact new windows and doors will have on their energy bills rather than their carbon footprint but it’s interesting to see that 58% of respondents would feel guilty about not acting green, and this is something we can try and help with our energy saving products.

The survey polled 1,000 people in 16 cities around Britain and Ireland.
