Low-cost and unexpected ways to keep warm and save energy this winter (theconversation.com)

Most winter energy advice focuses on heaters and insulation but energy savings often come from places people rarely check. Small and inexpensive changes can reduce heat loss more than many standard upgrades.

Interestingly, most Australian homes lose heat in simple ways. Warm air escapes through tiny gaps, cold surfaces draw heat from the body and open-plan layouts let warmth drift away.

Another good one especially in larger houses is to make easily removable insulation blankets to put over windows in rooms you dont usually use or that dont need natural light or even over all of them after dark.
