Homeowners could be paid for reducing energy expenditure
Brits planning to invest in a bespoke conservatory or other form of glazed extension may wish to ensure it is as eco-friendly as possible.
A new government initiative is set to reward those who improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

The Renewable Energy Centre has praised the projects, suggesting that they are some of the "most positive initiatives which the government has implemented".
