A scheme to upgrade energy efficiency tech in around 70 properties in a West Yorkshire village is being highlighted as a national example.
Sustainable Building Services (UK) Ltd and Together Housing delivered a range of retrofitting works in a project supported by £1m of funding from the Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The scheme, which has been showcased in the House of Commons, set out to improve EPC ratings of D to at least a rating of C, with upgrades said be saving occupiers up to £169 a year each.
Works included the installation of PermaRock external wall insulation systems, incorporating non-combustible mineral fibre insulation, and loft insulation. Now, Together Housing is already beginning to replicate the scheme at properties in Sowerby Bridge.
