The Departments might find that the changes are affordable but the individual is under more pressure. We have to be careful about how much pressure we put on people, particularly when we tell them to reduce their heating usage. Many of the constituents we are talking about have colder blood levels because they are older. They are in their seventies and eighties, are sitting at home and 19oC would not help the cause. We have to come up with faster methods of retrofitting their homes if at all possible.
