Other measures include installing heat pumps, replacing boilers, installing solar panels, getting double or triple glazed windows and insulating the loft.
Tom Butler of MyGlazing.com said: "It goes without saying that, as a nation, we’re facing considerable challenges when it comes to the cost of living. However, it’s promising to see that so many homeowners are planning to make energy efficient home improvements in the near future.
"Even though the initial cost of some green improvements can be costly, the long-term benefit makes them a real investment.
"For example, up to 24% of heat energy can escape from old, draughty glazing so upgrading windows to be double or even triple glazed can really help to improve a property’s energy efficiency."
Nationwide, it is estimated UK homeowners will spend £16bn on making their homes more green in 2022.
On average, it is estimated people will invest more than £2,700, with those aged 55 to 73 set to spend the most at £3,401.
