LiveWest, the largest housing association in the South West, has taken one step closer to achieving its goal of retrofitting 8,000 of its least energy-efficient homes to ensure they are more eco-friendly and reduce the cost of energy bills for its customers. The housing association has fitted a variety of homes with new solar panels, efficient insulation, heaters and smart meters to improve the energy performance of its homes. Residents, Tom and Patricia Kingdom have recently had their bungalow retrofitted and are delighted with all the improvements completed to their home to help reduce the cost of living and improve their home’s carbon footprint. Sophie Hughes CIH, Senior Commissioning Manager for LiveWest’s Retrofit Programme, comments: "We are delighted to hear that Mr and Mrs Kingdom are pleased with their solar panels, insulation, extractor fans and new heating that we have installed at their home. It is fantastic that Mr and Mrs Kingdom have already noticed a difference in their electricity bills. "We recognise our collective responsibility to reduce our emissions and contribute to a sustainable future. To do this, it is important we reduce our environmental impact across our existing and new homes we build." https://lnkd.in/g3Mds-HR #retrofit #housingassociation #existinghomes #socialhousing #affordablehousing #environmentalimpact #energyefficiency #costofliving #energyperformance #solarpanels #smartmeters #insulation #carbonfootprint #housing

Make UK Modular, in partnership with Octopus Energy, are today publishing a report – ‘Green Shoots: Modular and the Future of UK Housebuilding’ - outlining the need for greener, more energy efficient homes. The report calls on the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to take a modern approach to stamp duty based on energy performance, reform the Affordable Homes Programme and ensure the planning process fast-tracks greener house building in order to unlock the potential for modular homebuilders to build the greener homes for the future that our research shows the public are demanding.

Hundreds more households in #Leeds to benefit from low carbon #HeatNetwork. Hundreds more households will soon enjoy more affordable, reliable, and lower carbon heating with three tower blocks set to become the latest to connect to the city’s flagship #LeedsPIPES #DistrictHeatingNetwork. Two hundred and fifty-nine council properties in #LovellParkHeights, #LovellParkGrange, and #LovellParkTowers will be set up to receive heat from the network within the next six months. Private leaseholders of properties in the #LittleLondon tower blocks will also be able to benefit from the network if they opt to connect their homes to the system. Households that are benefiting from the upgrade can expect to see the cost of heating their home reduce using #LeedsPIPES, compared to their existing heating systems, and will also enjoy better reliability and control. Meanwhile, #LeedsConservatoire (formerly #LeedsCollegeofMusic) has become the thirteenth non-residential customer to have signed a contract to connect. The new connections are expected to reduce the city’s annual carbon footprint by 279 tonnes, supporting efforts to end the city’s contribution to climate change by transitioning to ‘#NetZero’ emissions https://lnkd.in/e4SNH-5e #LeedsNews #LeedsStar #LeedsStarNewspaper #LeedsCityCouncil #VisitLeeds #LeedsCity #Leeds
