Going green in the kitchen could be one of the important environmentally-friendly issues that property developers are addressing.Sustain magazine stated that the sustainability of housing projects is a massive issue for developers.This was complemented by the realisation of consumers that reduced energy usage in the home - which could include the kitchen - may lead to financial savings.Recent research by Tickbox.net and Opinion Matters for npower found that 64 per cent of people think it is important to save money and go green.But 91 per cent of individuals believe that household energy costs will rise over the next two to three years.The end consumer is really clued-up on sustainability, even if it means saving them money - which is the main reason for sustainability, asserted Steve Oxley, deputy editor at sustain.Sainsburys Home Insurance revealed that gas and electricity prices have risen the most over the past two years than all other household costs.Fitting aerators to kitchen taps can reduce energy consumption because less water is used, which could bring the cost of utility bills down.
