As we enter 2024, consider making resolutions that will not only improve your standard of living but also enhance the sustainability of your property.
This year, let’s focus on resolutions that revolve around creating an energy-efficient property. These resolutions align with global efforts towards sustainability and bring numerous benefits, such as cost savings and enhanced living conditions for your family and or residents.
Here at Gio Property Solutions, we are always thinking of ways to cut costs and improve living environments. Following the “New Year, New Me” mantra, we have put together a list of New Year’s resolutions, to help you promote a more energy-efficient property.
Let’s get started!
1. Get an Energy Performance Certificate
In 2024, prioritise energy efficiency by obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for your property. This certificate will assess your building’s energy usage and carbon emissions while providing improvement suggestions in the form of a Recommendations Report.
By analysing insulation, heating, and lighting, an EPC will guide you to make upgrades that benefit your family and/ or residents. Not only does an energy-efficient property cut costs, but it boosts the appeal of your property to eco-conscious tenants if you are looking to rent or sell.
This strategic move will help you lower energy costs, reduce environmental impact, and create a sustainable living environment for everyone. If you require an EPC, contact Gio Property Solutions. We provide a hassle-free testing experience and will help you create an energy-efficient property.
2. Book an Air Tightness Test
Air tightness testing is another way to identify energy efficiency problems. This informative test helps identify if there are any leaks and air infiltration in your building.
By fixing these issues, you can keep a more stable temperature inside your building, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling. This reduction in the reliance on heating and cooling systems helps you lower monthly energy bills. Additionally, improved air tightness creates a more comfortable living space, eliminating drafts and enhancing indoor air quality for your tenants.
Accurate air tightness tests can be completed by reliable service providers like Gio Property Solutions. With years of experience in conducting air-tightness testing for residential and commercial properties, we will get the job done quickly and efficiently! Get in touch with us today!
3. Introduce LED Lighting Solutions in Your Property
Significant improvements in the energy efficiency of your property can be made by switching to LED lights. In comparison to traditional bulbs, LED lights consume 75% less energy. Moreover, they last longer, reducing replacements, lowering maintenance costs, and minimising waste.
Installing LED lighting in common areas and outdoor spaces not only cuts electricity bills but also improves light quality. This switch to LED is a simple yet powerful move towards an eco-friendly property, showcasing a commitment to sustainability.

4. Upgrade to an Efficient HVAC System
The HVAC system of your building provides a comfortable living environment to residents but is the biggest energy consumer of the property. Therefore, using an energy-efficient HVAC system is advisable to lower the overall energy consumption.
Modern HVAC systems offer optimal climate control while using far less energy, proving a more sustainable and cheaper option than older models. This upgrade is a must if you are looking to cut down on carbon footprints and energy costs.
Besides enhancing overall energy efficiency, efficient HVAC systems boost indoor air quality and resident comfort. It’s a substantial investment that pays off through lower utility bills and maintenance costs.
5. Improve the Insulation of Your Property
Upgrading your insulation system is one of the most important steps in creating an energy-efficient property. This change reduces the need for excessive heating and cooling by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
In older properties, inadequate insulation results in significant energy loss, which is both wasteful and expensive. Enhancing insulation in key areas like walls, roofs, and basements boosts thermal performance significantly. This not only cuts down energy consumption and utility bills but also creates a more comfortable and healthier living space.
