Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge

3 Star Actions

Action: Insulate our own homes properly and encourage our staff to do so too.

Home energy use accounts for around 23% of CO2 emissions in Worcestershire. This sector has most potential for reducing emissions, by improving home energy efficiency, e.g. through proper roof & wall insulation.

The local Energy Efficiency Advice Centre runs the Energy Efficiency Scheme for Employers and Employees (EESEE) Staff from the centre visit businesses and organisations to offer advice on insulation and home energy efficiency, get staff to complete home energy checks and give out energy saving freebies. Call them on 0800 512012 to find out more or download the EESEE leaflet. This is a link to a PDF file. (244.68 KB)

Staff can complete a Home Energy Check online or by calling 0800 512012 for a paper copy if preferred.
