Warmer Worcestershire
The Warmer Worcestershire project began with a thermal image
survey of Worcestershire to highlight heat loss from roof of
properties. The aim of the project is to encourage energy
efficiency and save residents money on their bills.
The Warmer Worcestershire network are continuing to promote the
importance of keeping warm and well during the winter months. In a
typical British home, one third of the heat produced by central
heating systems is lost through the roof, walls and windows. For a
poorly insulated property, this means that £1 out of every £3 spent
is wasted

Historic buildings and energy
Historic buildings are a finite and non-renewable
source. They define local landscapes and create a sense
of place. It is important to look after our historic
buildings, but it is also important to make them as energy
efficient as possible, both for economic and environmental
reasons.
