      That looks at insulation on its own. When you switch to a heat pump, it cuts the actual energy use at the home to about 1/3 of what it was when you burned gas or oil, and enables the use of non-emitting energy sources to supply the heat pump.

      This means that the CO2 emissions drop, even if people decide to heat and cool their living space more.
