Personalised energy advice to residents begins at the Ethelred estate
31 January 2011
Now that refurbishment works are near completion, residents on the Ethelred estate are receiving free, detailed energy surveys for their homes. Qualified energy advisors are currently visiting each home to offer help and advice, such as programming heating controls, saving energy with appliances and understanding fuel bills. Each home is receiving a free Powerdown to prevent TVs from being left on stand-by. The energy advice has so far been met with hugely positive reactions.
Carbon Descent is also examining the effect of this advice by installing monitoring equipment in selected residences. The equipment will chart electricity consumption and temperature data, allowing us to chart the projects success accurately over the upcoming months.
