Energy Academy – City South Housing Trust

Training and supporting City South Housing Trust staff and tenants save energy at home.

 

Location: South
Duration: February – March 2012

 

Action for Sustainable Living’s Energy Academy programme is designed to engage, enthuse and support staff and tenant champions support tenants in cutting energy use and costs through implementing simple behavioural changes in the home.

Between February and March 2012 , AfSL ran a pilot project, training and supporting staff and tenants in spreading the energy saving message and encouraging action.

The six week pilot project resulted in total annual fuel bill savings for tenants of £8,932 and annual emission reductions of at least 31 tonnes CO2 each year; a lifetime saving of 868 tonnes. Comprehensive training on reducing energy use and assisting others to do so has been delivered to 14 residents and 9 City South staff. The trained staff and tenants, alongside AfSL trainers have subsequently advised 157 additional City South tenants.
