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.
