Energy Efficiency
Inefficient use of energy is bad for the environment as well as your bank balance! Most of our energy currently comes from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. This releases climate change causing gases into the atmosphere. A quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions in Worcestershire come from our homes- heating, lighting and powering household appliances.
What are we doing in Worcestershire?
| Energy Efficiency is one of the key themes of the Worcestershire Climate Change Strategy |
| Each District Council produces an annual energy conservation report. This assesses the energy efficiency of housing and identifies cost-effective energy saving measures. |
| Worcestershire local authorities, Primary Care Trusts and other service providers are delivering an Affordable Warmth Strategy. This seeks to reduce fuel poverty and aims to ensure that everyone in Worcestershire can afford to heat their home adequately. |
What can you do?
| For advice on saving energy in your home, talk to your local Energy Advisor on Freephone 0800 512 012 or visit the Save Energy website |
| Find out about the grants and special offers available to help you insulate your home properly and install energy efficient equipment. |
| Visit the Worcestershire Green Directory for local contacts to help you save energy at home or to install renewable energy such as solar water heating. |
| Find out about support available to help improve the energy efficiency of your business. |
